Scooter's Tempeh Chili for Vegans

Ingredients 0/16

Step 1

Lightly heat some olive oil in a big pot over medium-high heat. Toss in the carrots and cook them until they start to get tender, about 5 minutes. Next, add the onion and garlic, stirring occasionally until everything smells really good, around 3 minutes. Sprinkle in the chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, and cumin, and give it all a good stir for about a minute to toast the spices.

Step 2

Now, add the tempeh along with all three colors of bell peppers. Keep stirring so the tempeh gets nicely coated with the spices, and cook for another 5 minutes or so. Once that’s looking good, pour in the tomatoes, black beans, cannellini beans, kidney beans, corn, and a little brown sugar for a touch of sweetness.

Step 3

Turn the heat down to low, cover the pot, and let everything simmer gently. Give it about 30 minutes to let all those flavors meld together into a tasty, hearty chili. When it’s done, give it a taste and adjust the seasoning if you need to, then serve and enjoy!
