Creating this amazing Cauliflower Chili is a breeze when you follow these straightforward steps:
1. Prepare the Vegetables: Chop the cauliflower, onion, and bell pepper, and mince the garlic.
2. Sauté Vegetables: Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil and sauté the onion and garlic for about 3-4 minutes, until fragrant.
3. Add Bell Pepper: Toss in the diced bell pepper and continue to sauté for another 2-3 minutes until softened.
4. Incorporate Cauliflower: Add the chopped cauliflower to the pot, stirring everything together for an even mix.
5. Seasoning Time: Sprinkle in the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper. Stir well until the spices coat the vegetables.

9. Taste and Adjust: After simmering, taste the chili and add salt and pepper to your liking. You can also adjust the spiciness with more cayenne if desired.
