Why Vegetarian?

  • Loaded with plant-based protein. This vegetarian chili packed with protein without the added fats or cholesterol of red meat, making it a healthy alternative for those who don’t eat or prefer to eat less of it in their diet.
  • One-pot meal. Aside from the fact that chili is warm and filling, chili makes a great comfort food because it’s easy to make. After sautéing the veggies and adding the remaining ingredients, you bring the chili to a boil. Then, simmer for 35 minutes. Little effort for a great meal? Yes, please!

So when it’s cold and dreary outside and has been for days, make this vegetarian chili recipe a go-to in your house until Spring arrives. This recipe has become a favorite of mine and I think it tastes even better the next day, so making it a day ahead is a great trick of mine and a time-saving option during a busy week. Stay dry, safe, and warm out there, warmer weather will be here before you know it!
