Hearty Vegan Chili

1

Sauté the Veggies

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell peppers. Sauté until they are softened and just starting to brown, about 5-7 minutes.

2

Aromatics & Spices

Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Stir in the chili powder and cumin, allowing the heat to "bloom" the spices for 30 seconds.

3

Simmer

Stir in both cans of beans (rinsed) and the undrained diced tomatoes. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

4

Set and Cook

Reduce heat to low, cover, and let it cook for at least 30 minutes. This slow cook allows the flavors to meld together perfectly. Season with salt and pepper before serving.
