Instructions
- For the Roasted Vegetable Chili:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). On a baking sheet, toss the zucchini, red and yellow bell peppers, and onion with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 25-30 minutes until tender and slightly browned.
- In a large pot, combine the roasted vegetables, kidney beans, black beans, diced tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20-30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm while preparing the cornbread biscuits.
- For the Cornbread Biscuits:
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the milk and beaten egg until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making 8-10 biscuits.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden and puffed.
- Serve the roasted vegetable chili with the fluffy cornbread biscuits on the side.

For extra flavor, try adding a dash of hot sauce to the chili. The cornbread biscuits can also be made ahead and stored in an airtight container for a few days
