For a richer flavor, sauté the diced onions and red bell peppers in vegetable oil until softened before adding them to the slow cooker. (10 minutes) If you prefer a spicier chili, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a diced jalapeño pepper. Garnish with a dollop of vegan sour cream, chopped cilantro, avocado slices, or a sprinkle of shredded vegan cheese. This chili is even better the next day, as the flavors have had more time to meld. For a smoky flavor, use smoked paprika instead of regular paprika.
