My Tip

To deepen the flavor of your black bean chili, make sure to sauté the onions, garlic, and peppers until they’re nicely caramelized. This extra step will add a rich sweetness and complexity that elevates the entire dish.

Leftovers

To store your black bean chili fries, transfer them to an airtight container and keep them in the fridge for up to three days. When you're ready to enjoy them again, reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15 minutes to keep the fries crispy, adding a splash of water if needed to keep everything moist.

Make It Your Own

For a delightful twist, try swapping the feta for crumbled goat cheese for a tangy flavor that pairs beautifully with the chili. You can also add a sprinkle of fresh cilantro on top for an extra burst of freshness!
