Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 1 tablespoon olive oil; 1 medium onion, diced; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1 red bell pepper, diced; 1 green bell pepper, diced; 1 medium zucchini, diced; 1 medium carrot, diced; 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed; 1 can (15 oz) kidney beans, drained and rinsed; 1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes; 1 cup vegetable broth; 2 tablespoons tomato paste; 2 teaspoons chili powder; 1 teaspoon cumin; 1 teaspoon paprika; Salt and pepper, to taste; Optional toppings: shredded cheese, chopped fresh cilantro, sliced avocado, sour cream

Instructions

In a large pot over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, zucchini, and carrot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened slightly, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the black beans, kidney beans, diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, tomato paste, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the chili simmer for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally. This allows the flavors to meld together and for the chili to thicken.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or spices to suit your preference.
Serve the vegetarian chili hot, garnished with your choice of toppings such as shredded cheese, chopped cilantro, avocado slices, and a dollop of sour cream.
