Ingredients
Directions
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, bell pepper, and carrot. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the onion is translucent.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
Stir in the canned diced tomatoes, black beans, vegetable broth, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the chili simmer for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Allow longer simmering for richer flavors, if desired.
Serve hot, garnished with optional toppings such as diced avocado, fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice for added brightness.

Tips:Feel free to adjust the spice level by adding more chili powder or a diced jalapeño. This chili can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave before serving.
