Instructions

Heat the Extra Virgin Olive Oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the diced onions and bell peppers, cooking for about 6 to 8 minutes until the onions become translucent and soft
Stir in the minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, and smoked paprika. Toast the spices for 1 minute until fragrant
Pour in the fire-roasted tomatoes (with their juices) and the low-sodium vegetable broth. Use a wooden spoon to scrape any browned bits off the bottom of the pot
Stir in the rinsed kidney beans, black beans, and pinto beans. Add the Pure Maple Syrup to balance the acidity of the tomatoes
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let the Vegan Three Bean Chili simmer for at least 30 minutes
If you prefer a thicker consistency, remove the lid and simmer for an additional 10 minutes or mash half a cup of the beans
Ladle the warm Vegan Three Bean Chili into bowls and garnish with fresh herbs or avocado slices

Notes

Rinse your canned beans thoroughly under cold water before use to remove excess sodium.

For a deeper flavor, bloom your spices in the oil before adding any liquid.

Consider making the chili a day in advance for enhanced flavor.
