Notes<\/strong>
When I make classis vegan chili, I still have to add all the veggies, even if you don’t see them. I’m a vegan, after all.
For that reason, I diced every vegetable in the chili recipe small, using the small blade on my favorite veggie chopper.
As a result, everyone thinks they are eating a thick, meaty chili when they are eating a rainbow of veggies.
I used zucchini, carrots, onions, sweet potato, celery, peppers, and tomatoes for this classic vegan chili recipe.
To reduce prep time, and get it all done quickly, I use my favorite vegetable chopper that makes every vegetable the same tiny size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
