Hearty vegan chili featuring pumpkin as the star ingredient. Warm spices reminiscent of fall desserts blend together with hints of smoke, chili, and chocolate to create a hearty chili that screams decadence and tastes like a guilty pleasure.
Preparations:- Dice onion and yellow pepper- Open containers- Measure spices- Preheat heating vessel over medium high
Once preheated, add 2 tbsp of olive oil and diced onions sauteing until they begin to appear translucent (approximately 3-4 minutes).
Add the diced yellow bell pepper and stir to combine.
Add all of the spices to the pepper and onion mixture and stir to coat evenly. Allow to saute briefly to warm the spices until fragrant. Add tomato paste, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.

Cover and allow to simmer for an hour stirring occasionally.
After 60 minutes, remove from heat and allow to rest covered for 15-30 minutes.
