Cooking Instructions

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Instant Pot Veggie Chili.

Step 1
Start by setting your Instant Pot to the 'Sauté' function.
Step 2
Drizzle in some olive oil and toss in the diced onion.
Step 3
Sauté for about five minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes tender and takes on a lovely golden hue.
Step 4
Next, add the minced garlic and let it sauté for an additional minute, allowing that wonderful aroma to fill your kitchen.
Step 5
Now, it’s time to spice things up! Stir in the chili powder, dried Mexican oregano, ground cumin, and garlic powder.
Step 6
Mix everything together and sauté for another minute to let those flavors dance together.
Step 7
Add in the tomato paste and continue sautéing for about a minute, letting the rich flavors meld beautifully.
Step 8
Then, pour in the vegetable broth and tomato sauce, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any delicious browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pot—this will help prevent a burn notice and ensure every bit of flavor is captured.
Step 9
Now, mix in the petite diced tomatoes, black beans, pinto beans, chopped chipotle pepper, and a pinch of salt—start with one teaspoon and feel free to adjust later to suit your taste.
Step 10
Once everything is combined, cancel the 'Sauté' function.
Step 11
Close and lock the lid of your Instant Pot, select 'High Pressure,' and set the timer for 10 minutes.
Step 12
Don’t forget to allow about 10 to 15 minutes for the pressure to build up.
Step 13
When the cooking time is up, let the pressure release naturally for about five minutes, then carefully switch to quick release to let out any remaining steam.
Step 14
Unlock the lid and take a moment to enjoy the delightful aroma wafting from your pot.
Step 15
Give the chili a good stir and taste it.
Step 16
This is your chance to adjust the seasonings to your liking before serving.
Step 17
Whether you enjoy it spicy or mild, this chili is sure to warm your heart and fill your belly.
Step 18
Enjoy your delicious creation!.
