Directions

Preheat oven to 400. Place sweet potatoes in baking dish. Pierce potatoes with fork and bake until tender, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Meanwhile, heat olive oil in large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced bell pepper and chopped onions and saute until golden, about 10 minutes. Add minced garlic and stir mixture 2 minutes. Stir in chili powder and ground cumin, then tomatoes and beans and bring mixture to simmer. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook 20 minutes. (Can be prepared one day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewarm over low heat before continuing.) Add diced squash and minced jalapeno chili; cover chili and cook until squash is crisp-tender, about 6 minutes. Arrange 1 sweet potato on each plate. Split potatoes open and mash slightly. Spoon some chili over each. Squeeze lime juice over and top with yogurt (* sour cream?) and chopped parsley if desired. Pass remaining chili separately.
