This vegan chili recipe is a home run when it comes to vegan dinner ideas. Packed with protein, this vegan chili is one of the most flavorful vegan dinners out there. What I love most of all about this recipe is that its a hardy vegan chili that can be changed up slightly to fit your taste buds. Furthermore, If you’re a big fan of spicy vegan dinners, you can triple the chili and cumin powder (making it 1 Tablespoon) consequently heating it up to your delight.
