Mouthwatering Vegetarian Chili!

I was ready to try a new chili recipe on the weekend so I jumped onto Pinterest to see what I could find! I decided to change to a plant based diet a couple of months ago and my mind and body feel great! I hadn’t planned this out though, so when I found a recipe that looked good to me, I realized I didn’t have all of the ingredients. Instead of running out to the store, I decided to improvise! Now if you know me well, you will know that not following the instructions for a recipe TO THE TEE was never something I used to do. But I’ve since realized that this was just silly. I dug around in my pantry and fridge and this is what I came up with.

Oh, and an onion. Almost forgot about the onion.

First you heat the oil in your Instant Pot using the saute function. Then you add the onion, bell peppers, carrot, celery, and garlic. Cook it while stirring for about 8-10 minutes. Next, add the spices and stir them to coat the veggies: chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper. Finally, add the tomato paste, beans and broth. Stir it all up to combine it.

Close up the Instant Pot and pressure cook on high for 25 minutes.

I let it naturally release for about ten minutes before opening it up. At this point, stir in the corn and it’s ready to eat! Some topping ideas are avocado, shredded cheese and pumpkin seeds.

I chose to individually portion these up and stick them in the freezer for quick lunches! Click the download link below for the recipe! Comment below and tell me how you enjoyed it!
