To a pot add olive oil, onion, carrot, garlic, black pepper, cumin, and paprika. Cook on medium-high heat until the onions become transparent, stirring occasionally.
Add tomato paste, water, and jalapeno pepper. Stir and let simmer for 5 minutes.
Add beans, dried parsley, oregano, and can of diced tomatoes. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for 20-25 minutes.
Remove pot from heat. Let chili cool before serving with sides of choice.
I paired my chili with avocado, greek yogurt, and low-sodium tortilla chips.
