30 Minute Vegan Chili Recipe

Now that the 90-degree days are behind us, and the leaves are starting to change, it’s officially chili season.

This vegan chili is my Sunday football-watching go-to dinner. It’s great for feeding a gang and the leftovers taste even better the next day!

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 1 red pepper, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tbsp chipotle chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 4 Cups crushed canned tomatoes
  • 2 Cups cooked lentils

  • 2 Cups frozen corn, thawed and drained of excess water
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper

Method for your vegan chili

  1. In a large pot heated on medium heat, sauté onion in oil for about 2 minutes until soft.
  2. Then add in red pepper and cook for another minute.
  3. Add all the spices and stir to combine sautéing for another 2 minutes.
  4. Add in minced garlic and stir to combine, reduce heat to prevent the garlic from burning.
  5. Add a small amount of crushed tomatoes to lift the mixture from the bottom of the pan. Sauté this for another 2 minutes.
  6. Add in the remaining crushed tomatoes, lentils, kidney beans, corn, salt, and ground black pepper.
