Then, add garlic and cook until fragrant.

Finally, simmer, stirring occasionally for 20-30 minutes and thats it!
Serve this veggie chili up with your favorite gluten free and vegan toppings.
Top Recipe Tip
Simmer this vegan gluten free chili until its the texture you prefer. I like my chili pretty saucy, so for me, I stop simmering at 20 minutes.
But, if you like extra thick chili, allow it to simmer for 30 or so minutes.
Storage
To store, transter to an airtight container and place in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Or freeze for up to a month.
