Ingredients
4 Tbsp. neutral oil, divided, plus more for dish
3 medium sweet potatoes (about 1 1/2 lb. total), peeled and cut into 1/2" cubes
2 tsp. kosher salt, divided
1 yellow onion, finely chopped
1 red bell pepper, seeds and ribs removed, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 Tbsp. chili powder
1 Tbsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. dried oregano
1 (14.5-oz.) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 (14.5-oz.) can diced tomatoes
1 (14.5-oz.) can tomato sauce
1 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels
2 cups shredded colby Jack cheese
2 scallions, sliced (about 1/4 cup)
Sour cream, for serving
Directions
Step 1: Rub a 13"-by-9" glass baking dish with oil. In a large bowl, toss potatoes with 2 tablespoons oil and 1 teaspoon salt. Spread on a baking sheet, then cover with foil, crimping edges to seal.
Step 2: Arrange a rack in center of oven. Place sheet on rack; preheat oven to 450°.
Step 3: Leave potatoes in oven for 20 minutes (they will begin to cook as the oven heats up). Remove foil from pan and continue to roast until potatoes are caramelized and tender, about 10 minutes more.
Step 4: Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Add onion and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, 5 to 6 minutes. Add bell pepper, garlic, chili powder, cumin, and oregano and cook, stirring occasionally, until pepper is just slightly softened and spices are fragrant, about 2 minutes more. Stir in beans, tomatoes, tomato sauce, corn, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes.
Step 5: Pour half of chili into prepared dish. Sprinkle with half of potatoes. Top with remaining chili and potatoes.
Step 6: Cover with foil and bake casserole until bubbling around the edges and hot in the center, 20 to 25 minutes. Uncover, top with cheese, and continue to bake until cheese is melted, 4 to 6 minutes more.
Step 7: Sprinkle with scallions and serve with sour cream alongside.
