INGREDIENTS
1 cup canned black beans (drained, rinsed)
100g tempeh
1 cup mixed roasted vegetables (bell pepper & zucchini)
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup vegetable broth
1 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Toss the chopped bell pepper and zucchini with a drizzle of olive oil (optional) and a pinch of salt and roast on a baking sheet for about 20 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
While the vegetables are roasting, heat a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion, sautéing until fragrant and softened, approximately 3-4 minutes.
Crumble the tempeh into the pan and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until lightly browned.
Stir in the ground cumin, smoked paprika, and unsweetened cocoa powder, allowing the spices to bloom for about a minute.
Add the black beans, diced tomatoes, and vegetable broth to the pan. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Once the roasted vegetables are ready, gently fold them into the chili.
Serve hot, garnished with extra smoked paprika or fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy your richly spiced and nutritious bowl of chili!
