Peel and dice the sweet potato into small 1/2-inch cubes. Finely dice the yellow onion and green bell pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and bell pepper, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the ground beef to the pot. Break it apart with a wooden spoon and cook until browned, about 5-6 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Stir in the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Toast the spices with the meat for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the tomato puree, water, and the diced sweet potatoes. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 12-15 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender.
Stir in the cooked lentils and heat through for an additional 2 minutes. Adjust seasoning if desired and serve hot.
