Combine sweet potatoes and 1 tablespoon oil on a baking sheet. Season with salt to taste; mix well.
Roast sweet potatoes for 15 minutes. Flip, then cook until tender and lightly browned, about 10 to 15 minutes. Set aside.
Meanwhile, heat remaining 2 teaspoons oil in a dutch oven or large soup pot over medium heat.
Add onions, red pepper, and jalapeño to oil. Season with salt, then saute until tender, about 10 minutes.
Mix garlic and spices (chili powder, cumin, oregano, and cinnamon) into veggies. Cook for one minute, stirring constantly.
Add beans, tomatoes, pumpkin puree, broth, and corn to veggies. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a lively simmer. Continue cooking until chili has thickened, about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir sweet potatoes into chili, then generously season to taste with salt.
Serve chili hot with your choice of toppings. Enjoy!
