Vegan Bean Chili [Slow Cooker, Instant Pot, Stove]
The easiest 4-bean vegan chili slow cooker recipe (or Instant Pot/ Stove). It’s packed with nutrients, bold flavors, and only inexpensive, basic pantry ingredients! This slow-cooker vegetarian chili is also naturally gluten-free, dairy-free, oil-free, and vegan - everyone will love it!
Throw all the ingredients in a crock pot and mix thoroughly. Cook on low for at least four hours, stirring occasionally (every hour or so).
Alternatively, if you have an Instant Pot, you can throw everything in there and cook on high pressure for 5 minutes with a quick release.
Notes
Cut veggies evenly: So they cook evenly.
For a creamier consistency: You can either use an immersion blender directly in the crockpot or transfer a small amount of the beans to a blender to blend until creamy, then mix back into the chili.
Adjust the amount of liquid: Add more water (or vegetable broth) based on how ‘soupy’ you’d prefer the vegan chili slow cooker recipe.
