Vegan Chili Recipes

A filling recipe for a slow cooker

A delicious spicy slow-cooker chili.

This is a great summer alternative to chili and it is Vegan. It is excellent and you won't miss the meat!

For a delicious and different cold-weather favorite, use lentils instead of regular beans and meatless crumbles instead of beef... no one will ever know.

This one's an amalgam of several different Sparkpeople recipes, and uses sweet potatoes & quinoa flour to spike the nutritional content, while adding several "secret ingredient" tricks and tweaks to make it super-tasty and filling. NOTE: This is not a super low-cal or low-sodium recipe, but it is a complete nutritious one-dish meal, and if you omit some of the optional ingredients and/or opt for reduced-sodium versions, you can adapt it to suit your needs.

thought I'd try a recipe with less beans, replaced with sprouted wheat berries and sprouted lentils

A healthy, vegan chili made with TVP (textured vegetable protein)

Red beans are very high in iron. One cup is about a third of the daily recommended value. This recipe also has 13% DRV calcium and a day's worth of vitamins A and C.

This is a great vegan vegetarian chili that is filling and can also be used as a side dish.

So I went to the Mile High Flea Market and got some Good Stuff. My favorite find was definitely the roasted green chilies. They smell awesome, and certify that any recipe using them will create a meal that is muy authentico and muy sabroso! And hella cheap at the flea market. I got a huge heavy bag for $5. The bag would probably make me 3 or 4 batches of green chili (about 5 or 6 cups per batch). If you are able to, it is such a better chili if you can get your hands on roasted chilies. Otherwise, whole canned will suffice, but lack the roasted flavor.

In September my parents became Vegan for heart health reasons and my mom created some great vegan recipes like this one for Vegan Chili. Being a vegitarian, this is a great option for me when I get a hankering for some chili :] Plus, it's quick and easy!!


P.S. Ignore the nutritional info box at the right, that's only for the sauce, I've included the nutritional info at the bottom of the cooking instructions.

This is a loose guideline to making a very chunky vegetarian friendly chili. I roughly estimated quantities to scale down what I usually make to a four-dinner batch. Spices are also estimates and should be adjusted to taste. I use dry beans to make a batch of beans first, but here I substituted canned for convenience. Use whichever serves you best. Experiment and have fun!

You can use any bean in this, and as much more spice as you like.

More like an un-stuffed pepper mixture but with a chili taste. Goes great with salad.

Easy... Dump in Crock-Pot and Ignore.

yummy spicy vegan chili

Low-fat, healthy, hearty, spicy vegan chili. Nom nom nom!

Yummy chili, you won't miss the meat!

Classic chili veganized with TVP (textured vegetable protein).
Stovetop and Instant Pot instructions.

Makes a huge batch

You won't miss the meat.

For my son Little John

Tomatoes form the base, 4 beans and lentils make this hearty. Meat and dairy products can be added, but are not necessary. Makes 16 hearty servings that each have 50% of your daily fiber intake.

A spicy solution when you are wanting chili but don't want the meat and don't like tofu.

Like the name says -- wow!
