One-Pot Vegan Quinoa Chili

The weather has not been very nice the last couple of days so I have been craving something warm, hearty and comforting instead of my usual summer smoothie. Well, this one-pot vegan quinoa chili is all I could have asked for.

It is SO tasty and colorful, and guess what – you just have to throw all of the ingredients in a pot and let the magic happen! I hope you are hungry because you are going to have a delicious and filling chili in front of you in 30 minutes.

Vegan Chili with Lots of Textures and Spices

Sweet yet spicy, creamy but also crunchy…

This vegan chili offers a variety of textures and spices and is a real treat for your taste buds. Not to mention that it is also very pleasing to the eyes because of all the colors.

If you are like me and you love cinnamon, I highly suggest that you add a cinnamon stick to the pot. It is going to give the chili an amazing flavor. However, if you don’t like cinnamon, feel free to ignore this step. The chili will be just as delicious and flavorful.

The Perfect Healthy Comfort Food

I LOVE comfort food and I bet you do too.

In my opinion this chili is the perfect healthy comfort food because it is packed with superfoods which are going to make you feel vibrant.

Quinoa contains a lot of antioxidants, protein, fiber, important minerals like iron, magnesium and potassium, and is naturally gluten-free.

Sweet potatoes are a great source of vitamin C, vitamin B6, iron, magnesium and potassium.

Beans are packed with protein, fiber, iron and potassium. With the addition of vegetables, avocado and fresh herbs, this chili is a very healthy, nutritious and complete meal.

I hope you guys will LOVE this vegan chili! It is:

• Tasty
• Ready in 30 minutes
• Packed with nutrients
• Healthy
• Delicious

Have fun!

Instructions

1. In a large non-stick pan over high heat, cook the onion and garlic with a splash of water until translucent (roughly 5 minutes). Add more water if it starts to stick to the pan. Then add the cayenne, salt and pepper and cook for 3 more minutes.
