Instructions

6 steps

  1. Sauté Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper, and zucchini. Sauté until softened.

    Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  2. Add Garlic

    Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

    Do not let the garlic burn.
  3. Combine Ingredients

    Stir in black beans, kidney beans, corn, diced tomatoes, and vegetable broth.

    Use low-sodium broth for a healthier option.
  4. Season Chili

    Add chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.

    Adjust spices according to taste.
  5. Simmer

    Bring the chili to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for 20-30 minutes.

    The longer it simmers, the better the flavor.
  6. Serve

    Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Serve hot with toppings of your choice.

    Consider avocado or cilantro for garnish.
