Pumpkin Pineapple Chili

Pumpkin Pineapple Chili pairs velvety pumpkin and coconut milk with roasted corn and pineapple for a gently spiced bowl that’s both cozy and bright. Black beans and aromatics add heartiness while cumin, oregano, and chili powder bring warmth. Serve on a cool evening and finish with cilantro and a sprinkle of Cheddar for a sweet-savory balance.

Pumpkin Pineapple Chili
  1. 1

    Position an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.

  2. 2

    Arrange the corn and pineapple on a baking sheet.

  3. 3

    Broil the corn and pineapple in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from the oven.

  4. 4

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir the onion, mushrooms, yellow bell pepper, carrot, garlic, chili powder, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper in the hot oil until softened, 10 to 15 minutes.

  5. 5

    Combine the roasted corn-pineapple mixture, onion mixture, vegetable broth, tomatoes, pumpkin puree, black beans, coconut milk, and cilantro in a large pot; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the flavors have blended, 10 to 15 minutes. Garnish each serving with Cheddar cheese.
