This chili is delicious on its own but if you’re inclined to add toppings, here are some suggestions:

  • dairy-free cheddar cheese
  • jalapeno slices – fresh or pickled
  • diced red onion
  • vegan sour cream
  • Frito-style corn chips
  • sliced scallion

How to make Three Bean BBQ Chili:

To roast the red pepper:

Heat oven to 450 degrees F. Cut the red pepper in half length-wise. Remove seeds and stem. Onto a roasting pan, place pepper cut side down. Roast for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool. When the pepper is cool enough to handle, remove and discard the skin. Dice the pepper; set aside.

For the chili:

Saute onion and garlic. Into a large pot over medium heat, add olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the onions and sauté 2-3 minutes. Add garlic and continue cooking an additional 1 minute.

Add seasonings and remaining ingredients. Stir in the smoked paprika, chili powder, ground cumin, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.

Add light and dark kidney beans, black beans, roasted red pepper, vegan chicken-style broth, undrained diced tomatoes, and barbecue sauce. Stir to combine.

Bring to a boil then reduce heat to low.

Cover and simmer 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. 

Uncover and continue simmering for an additional 15 minutes, tor until the chili reaches your preferred consistency.

Serve hot.

 

Cheers!
