Oh momma, this is one of my FAVOURITES! Homemade fries, chili, and cheeze sauce, all plant based and in one bowl. My life has been made.
I literally dance around the kitchen and at the table when we eat this. It's a little more time consuming, but so incredibly worth it.
The potatoes and vegan cheeze at an amazing creaminess to the chili. It's filling, delicious, and makes a ton- perfect for parties or get togethers!
Chili Fries
Total time: 1.5hrs- 4hrs
Servings: 6
Ingredients:
Potatoes-
5 russet potatoes, washed
and cut into fries
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 tsp paprika
salt and pepper
Chilli-
1 onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
1 clove garlic,
minced/crushed
1 can black beans, rinsed
and drained
1 can mixed beans, rinsed
and drained
1 can crushed tomatoes +
1/4 can water
1/2 grated zucchini
1tsp cumin
1tsp chili powder
1tsp turmeric
1/2tsp paprika
salt and pepper
2 handfuls spinach, chopped
Method:
If making chili in the crock pot, add all the ingredients except spinach and let cook for 4hrs on high. Add onion, red pepper, carrots, and garlic to a large pot with a splash of water, cook until soft. Add remainder of ingredients, except for spinach and bring to a boil. Once boiling, put a lid on and turn the heat down to med/low, let simmer stirring every so often. Let cook for 1- 1.5hrs. Add spinach just before serving and let wilt.
For the fries: preheat oven to 425C and cover cookie sheet in parchment paper. Add potatoes to a pot of cold water and cook until just soft enough to poke a fork in.
Mix oil, paprika, salt and pepper to a large mixing bowl. Once potatoes are cooked and drained add to bowl and coat evenly with oil mixture.
Place evenly on cookie sheets and bake for 45-50min, flipping halfway.
Add fries to a bowl and top with chili. Add your favourite toppings; I really enjoyed cheeze sauce and sour cream.
