How to Make Vegan Slow Cooker Pinto Beans
- Spray your slow cooker with cooking spray.
- Rinse 1 pound of dried pinto beans and pick out any debris. Add them to the slow cooker.
- Add 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, and a pinch of cayenne pepper (optional) to the beans.
- Stir well to ensure each bean is evenly coated with the spice mixture.
- Add 1 medium onion (chopped), 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes (undrained), 2 cloves garlic (minced), and 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro to the beans.
- Stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients.
- Pour 4 cups of water over the beans.
- Cook on high for 5-7 hours, or on low for 8-10 hours, stirring occasionally. The beans are done when they are tender and easily mashed.
