Using the saute function of the Instant Pot (Brown on the Crockpot Express), heat olive oil. Add onions and saute for 3-5 minutes, until onions begin to soften.
Add jalapeno, red peppers, garlic, and chilli powder. Saute for another few minutes, then press Cancel on the Instant Pot to stop the saute function.
Add sweet potato, black beans, canned tomato and their juices. Break tomatoes up with the back of your spoon. Set Instant Pot to manual (use Beans function on the Crockpot Express), set pressure to high and adjust time to 15 minutes. Place lid, secure to lock and steam valve to sealing. Press start.
Once high pressure cooking cycle is complete, allow steam to release naturally for at least 10 mins before manually releasing remaining steam and removing the lid.
Stir in maple syrup and frozen corn. Let sit until corn is warmed through. Serve with toppings of your choice.
