- Make sure to finely chop the onion, garlic, and green peppers for an even distribution of flavors throughout the chili.
- Consider soaking the lentils for a few hours before cooking to reduce cooking time and enhance digestibility.
- Adjust the level of spiciness by increasing or decreasing the amount of red pepper and chili powder to suit your taste preferences.
- You can add more vegetables such as carrots, corn, or zucchini for added nutrition and variety.
- For a thicker chili, let it simmer uncovered for the last 10-15 minutes to allow some of the liquid to evaporate.
- Top each serving with freshly diced avocado just before serving to keep the avocado from browning.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Serve the chili with optional toppings like fresh cilantro, a squeeze of lime, or a dollop of vegan sour cream for extra flavor.
