This hearty three-bean chili with butternut squash is a cozy, vegan-friendly meal made right in the slow cooker. Packed with flavor, fiber, and fall comfort.

Ingredients

15 oz canned pinto beans, rinsed

15 oz canned dark red kidney beans, rinsed

15 oz canned black beans, rinsed

15 oz canned petite diced tomatoes

2 cups butternut squash, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes

3 cups vegetable broth

3/4 cup chopped onion (about ½ a medium onion)

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1 tbsp ground cumin

1 tsp chili powder

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1 tbsp diced jalapeño pepper (optional)

Instructions

In a 6-quart or larger slow cooker, add all ingredients and stir to combine.

Cover and cook on high for 3 hours or on low for 5–6 hours, until the butternut squash is fork-tender.

Notes

Adjust spice level by adding or omitting jalapeño.

This chili thickens as it sits—add broth to loosen when reheating.

Delicious topped with avocado, cilantro, or vegan sour cream.
