It’s Chili Season!
GUYS. This very quinoa chili is one of the first viral recipes we ever had here at Fit Foodie Finds! It went absolutely bonkers on Pinterest a few years ago. So, we decided to retest and rephotograph this recipe to bring it up to date, and we’re happy to share the recipe still rules!
So without further adieu, feast your eyes on the most delicious and perfectly spiced vegan quinoa chili! Yes, it’s called black been quinoa chili, however, there is SO much more to this recipe than those two things!
This chili packs 3 different vegetables: onion, green peppers, and hominy, and the spice combination is fantastic! Let’s get into it:
One Pot Vegan Chili
Three cheers for chili recipes that can truly be made in ONE POT. Dump all these black bean quinoa chili ingredients in your stock pot or dutch oven, turn to medium / high, and let it all cook to perfection for 30 minutes. Seriously, that’s it.
In that time, all the vegetables will perfectly cook, the quinoa will have time to cook, and the flavor from the spices will really come out. You’ll be enjoying your chili in no time.
Quinoa Chili Spices
This spice combination gives this vegan chili the flavor depth you’d traditionally get from a meat-based chili, but without any meat or any gluten. Double win. We use:
- Cinnamon sticks
- Chili powder
- Cumin
- Onion powder
- Paprika
- Ground pepper
- Salt
Ever added a little bit of cinnamon to your chili? If not, it is THE BEST. Cinnamon adds such a great depth to this vegan chili recipe. It gives you a little unexpected sweetness, too! But not TOO much 😀
Quinoa Chili Nutritional Benefits
I personally love this quinoa chili recipe because it’s plant-based, veggie-filled, and packs in the protein. If you need to whip up a meal for someone sensitive to gluten, wheat, or dairy — this is your recipe! It’s also:
- Gluten-free
- Dairy-free
- Plant-based
- Vegan
- Vegetarian
Vegan Chili Toppings
This chili is oh so flavorful on its own, but if you’re looking to jazz it up with some toppings, we recommend any (or a combination!) of the following:
- Cilantro
- Diced avocado
- Tortilla chips (for dipping!)
- Greek yogurt
- Shredded cheese
- Diced onion
