A warm and comforting vegetable stew packed with beans and spices, perfect for a cozy meal.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot enough before adding ingredients to prevent sticking.
Add the green onions and garlic to the saucepan and sauté until fragrant.
Stir constantly to avoid burning the garlic.
Stir in the chili powder, cumin, and cinnamon, and cook briefly to release their aromas.
Toasting the spices enhances their flavor.
Add the diced tomatoes, zucchini, and vegetable broth to the saucepan. Bring to a boil.
Ensure the broth covers the vegetables for even cooking.
Reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer uncovered until the vegetables are tender.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Stir in the beans and cook until they are heated through.
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper at this stage.
Serve the stew warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Pair with crusty bread or rice for a complete meal.
