Easy Vegan Black Bean Chili Bowl
Vegan black bean chili bowl recipe
What are your dinner plans?
How about this black bean chili bowl?
So simple and scrumptious. Since I started eating a plant-based, vegan diet, this has been one of my favorite go-to meals and the kids love it too. I don’t add chili to it until I’ve served up the little people’s plates.
It’s also a really good dish for small kids, packed with nutrients and all that goodness they need. It’s one recipe to keep on hand, especially for the cold winter nights, when we need something to warm us up and fill that spicy void.
I’d been making this for a while before becoming vegan – I always enjoyed a veggie meal. This is super easy and tasty.

- Salt to taste
METHOD
Dice sweet potato and steam or fry in coconut oil till beginning to soften, add onion and garlic and saute for a few minutes, add spices and cook off till aromatic, add black beans and capsicum, chopped tomatoes, and tomato paste (i usually add a couple of tbsp of water).

Serve with some brown rice or quinoa & a dollop of sour garlic cashew cream. If you’re looking for something a little more exotic, look no further than the Best Vegan Pad Thai you’ll ever make!
