Another week has gone by and that means another new video recipe! Today’s recipe is my go-to easy vegan chili. I usually make this when friends are coming over because it doesn’t need too many complicated ingredients, most of my friends love spicy food and it’s a great no-brainer dish. Also, it makes great leftovers.
The video recipe is right here: (With french notes as well now!)
Ingredients
To make this chili we are going to need pretty basic ingredients:
- Kidney beans: I cooked them before making this recipe.
- Vegetables: Onion, garlic, carrots & pepper.
- Canned goods: Crushed tomatoes & corn.
- Flavor: Mexican blend (cinnamon, coriander and cumin), chili powder, tomato paste.
- Olive oil (duh).

How to make this easy vegan chili ?
This recipe is up there in my top “little to no babysitting recipes”. The only thing that matters is the order in which you put things in.
We will start by cooking the onion & garlic 5 minutes. Followed by the carrots and peppers, with a tiny bit of water and the tomato paste. Then we will add the beans, the spices and the tomatoes. All of this will simmer for 10 minutes then we will add the corn and a tiny bit more of water if you think it’s too thick. Then the final step is simmering for 30 to 40 minutes.
If you simmer for longer you will be fine. I have simmered chilis for over 2 hours and the result was great.
We ate our chili with a side of rice but you can also try with tortillas, quinoa or any other carb that sounds good to you.
If you want to try another type of chili, I made a chili with fake meat recipe back in the beginning of 2020. Those pictures are horrible so I wanted to update it with a more simple version!
