In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the ground beef to the pot, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until the beef is browned and no longer pink, approximately 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat, if necessary.
Stir in the chopped green and red bell peppers, and cook for another 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
Add the canned diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and beef broth to the pot. Stir well to combine.
Stir in the chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix everything thoroughly.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Let the chili simmer uncovered for about 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Stir in the diced zucchini, and continue to simmer for an additional 10 minutes or until the zucchini is tender.
Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Serve hot, and enjoy your hearty keto beef chili!
