    Instant Pot Vegan Pumpkin Chili in a grey bowl with tortillas chip on top

    This pumpkin chili is delicious served over rice or cauliflower rice with avocado slices on top. You won’t believe how much flavor comes from just a few simple ingredients like pumpkin puree, beans, and tomatoes. And don’t forget about the spices – they really take this dish up a notch! I love using cumin and coriander because they add an earthy flavor that goes perfectly with the sweet pumpkin puree.

    This Instant Pot Vegan Pumpkin Chili is! Just chop up some veggies, dump everything in your Instant Pot or slow cooker, and press start. That's it! In just 30 minutes (or 4 hours), dinner will be ready for everyone to enjoy together at home or on-the-go. Serve with tortilla chips on the side for an extra boost of flavor and texture. I know you'll love it as much as I do!

    FAQ'S

    Is canned pumpkin really pumpkin?

    Most canned pumpkin in the U.S. is made from a type of pumpkin that doesn't look all that typical. Dickinson pumpkins, also known as Dickinson squash, are the pumpkins used to make the majority of canned pumpkins we eat today. But Dickinson pumpkins are tan pumpkins with uniform, smooth skin that are much larger than the average field pumpkin. They're also sometimes called squash, not pumpkins.

    Can I use black beans in chili instead of kidney beans?

    If you don't have red beans, no worries, there are substitutes that you can use. You can make the chili simply by using black beans, pinto beans, or cannellini beans. They will fit very well with this recipe.

    Should I drain the beans before adding them to the recipe?

    Yes, You Should Rinse and Drain Canned Beans for Your Recipes—Here's Why. ... Most of the recipes call for draining and rinsing the beans to remove the excess salt and starch and improve flavor. Draining and rinsing can also remove the metallic flavor sometimes found in canned beans
