Step 1

Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat until hot, then add the veggies (garlic, onion, green bell pepper, green bell pepper, and carrot).

Step 2

Cook over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, or until lightly browned.

Step 3

Add all remaining ingredients, stir, increase the heat, and bring to a simmer. Then, reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer uncovered for 30-40 minutes, depending on how thick you want your chili.

Step 4

Serve with toppings of choice, such as red onion, green onion, and vegan shredded cheese.
