How to make Vegan in the Instant Pot
Making chili in the Instant Pot is SO easy! First, saute the veggies and spices after a few minutes to soften. Then add the beans, tomatoes, and vegetable stock. Seal the lid, pressure cook for 10 minutes as directed in the recipe below, manually release pressure, and serve. It’s so easy! And not only is it easy, it’s also delicious! Making chili in the Instant Pot intensifies the flavours similarly to slow cooking, so a chili that takes 3 hours on the stove to develop all those delicious flavours takes 25 minutes or less in the Instant Pot!

Instant Pot Vegan Chili
Recipe: Equipment
Recipe: Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic finely minced
- 3 medium carrots chopped
- 2 stalks celery chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon mild chili powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 3 cans beans in tomato sauce (15 ounce cans)
- 1 can kidney beans drained and rinsed (15 ounce cans)
- 1 can white beans (15 ounce can)
- 2 cans diced tomatoes (15 ounce can)
- 1 cup vegetable stock
Recipe: Instructions
- Start the Instant Pot on "Saute" mode and let it heat up. Wait until the screen says "Hot" and then add the olive oil, onion, garlic, carrots and celery.
- Saute the veggies for about 5 minutes, adding the spices, salt and pepper.
- Continue sauteing for a few minutes more, just until the spices are fragrant.
- Add the canned beans, canned tomatoes, and vegetable stock and stir everything together well.
- Place the lid on the Instant Pot and seal the lid. Place the release valve on "sealing".
- Cook for 8 minutes on "Pressure Cook".
- When the Pressure Cook time is finished, carefully turn the release valve to "venting" using a long pair of tongs or another long kitchen tool so you don't burn your hand, arm or face. It's a good idea to do this under an exhaust fan in your kitchen, if you have one.
- When the pressure has released, open the lid and serve in bowls with some freshly chopped herbs (optional).
