Vegan Cauliflower Kale Chili

This is a delicious hearty chili recipe. It is one of my favorites and a bit different with a hint of cinnamon. Packed with greens and beans, this dish is full fiber and nutrition. It has kale which is a nutrient dense food full of vitamins and minerals and it has cauliflower which is high in fiber and vitamin C. They are both cruciferous vegetable known for their anticancer properties. This dish is great by itself or you can serve over rice or quinoa.

1/2 head cauliflower chopped

2 cups kale chopped

1 cup onion chopped

4 cloves garlic
