Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Savory Vegetarian Pumpkin Spinach Chili.
Step 1
Start by gathering all your ingredients, and let’s create a delightful pot of chili that’s bursting with flavor! In a slow cooker, combine the diced tomatoes, pure pumpkin, and vegetable juice. Add in the chopped okra, broccoli, carrot, zucchini, and onion. These vibrant veggies will not only add color but also a wealth of nutrients to your dish. Now, sprinkle in the pumpkin pie spice, sugar, vinegar, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything together until well mixed, and let the slow cooker work its magic. Set it to high and let it cook for about 3 to 4 hours, or until the vegetables are tender and the aromas fill your kitchen with warmth.
Step 2
Once the vegetables are tender, it’s time to add the finishing touches! Stir in the vegetarian ground beef crumbles, fava beans, and the fresh chopped spinach. These ingredients will add a hearty texture and a boost of protein to your chili. Continue cooking for another 20 to 30 minutes, allowing all the flavors to meld beautifully together. The spinach will wilt down, adding a lovely green hue to your chili.
Step 3
When it’s ready, serve your chili hot, garnished with your favorite toppings like avocado, cilantro, or a dollop of sour cream if you like. This chili is perfect for a cozy dinner or a gathering with friends, and it pairs wonderfully with crusty bread or over a bed of rice.
