No meat for your chili? No problem, not with this recipe that will show you how to make the best instant pot vegetarian chili that I’ve ever tried. What it lacks in meat, it makes up for with flavor and texture thanks to the fresh garden veggies, savory herbs, and fiery hot spices. You’ll be making it with everything from onion, garlic, mushrooms, bell peppers, carrots, and sweet potatoes, so it’s still incredibly filling and of course, since it’s full of vegetables, you get a wide variety of vitamins and minerals, not to mention fiber as well. Save this recipe the next time you want to change up your meat-based dishes.
