Delicious Butternut Squash And Black Bean Chili Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
6
  • 1 medium butternut squash (peeled and diced)
  • 1 can black beans (drained and rinsed)
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes (canned or fresh)
  • 1 medium onion (chopped)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, cooking until soft.

    Make sure not to brown the garlic to avoid bitterness.
  2. Add Spices

    Stir in chili powder, cumin, and salt. Cook for another minute until fragrant.

    This step enhances the flavor of the spices.
  3. Incorporate Main Ingredients

    Add the butternut squash, black beans, diced tomatoes, and vegetable broth to the pot.

    Ensure the squash is cut into even pieces for uniform cooking.
  4. Simmer

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the squash is tender.

    Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. Serve

    Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with your choice of toppings.

    Consider toppings like avocado, cilantro, or lime for extra flavor.
