This Red Lentil Chili was inspired by my Vegan Crockpot Chili but with a quick cooking twist! It’s the fastest chili I’ve ever made and also one of the best.
Between the thick, hearty texture and abundance of veggies, it’s the most satisfying meals I’ve had in a long time.

Why You’ll Love This Vegan Chili
Follow this basic blueprint and you too can have an incredibly filling meal that’s complex and boldly seasoned, not to mention beautiful enough to grace your Instagram feed. Oh, and if you’re thinking of skipping the toppings, trust me don’t! Some noteworthy assets include:
- Made for meal prep – One batch makes 8 hearty servings, so you’ll be set for a week! It keeps perfectly in either the fridge or freezer too; scroll down for those details.
- One Pot – Cleanup is a breeze when you only have a single dish to wash!
- Filled with protein and fiber – This is one nutritional dynamo. We’re talking about 11 grams of plant protein and 13 grams of fiber, all for less than 200 calories! That’s better than most energy bars on the market these days, plus it’s all from real, whole foods.
- Great for game day – No one can resist the universe appeal of this hot, comforting meal. Make it into a real party and set out a topping bar for friends and family to customize their bowls to taste.
Notes on Ingredients
Please note that this is important information on the ingredients and instructions and the FULL recipe with amounts and details can be found DOWN BELOW (scroll to it) in the recipe card.
- Red lentils – Lentils are the fastest cooking legumes around, so you never need to soak or pre-cook them.
- Vegetable broth – Chose a low sodium variety to keep your salt levels in check.
- Diced tomatoes – If using canned tomatoes, don’t drain them! Add all that liquid in.
- Red onion
- Black beans
- Red and green bell peppers – You can use any color you like, including yellow and orange, or just one to make it simpler.
- Corn – This can be fresh, canned, or frozen.
- Chili pepper – Chose carefully based on your spice tolerance, whether that’s a mild jalapeno, punchy habanero, or scorching ghost chili.
- Chili powder
- Cayenne pepper
- Sea salt
- Black pepper
- Oregano
- Garlic
- Carrot – If using prepared shredded carrots, you’ll need roughly 1/3 cup.
- Lime
How to Make One Pot Red Lentil Chili
In the large stockpot over medium high heat, add in all the ingredients. Stir well to combine.
Bring to a boil, and then lower to a simmer. Cover slightly and let the chili cook down. Stir periodically to ensure that the lentil don’t stick to the bottom. Allow to cook until the red lentils are fully tender, and the stew thickens.
Remove from the stove. Squeeze in the lime juice and stir to combine. Let it cool slightly before serving. Top with your favorite garnishes and enjoy!
Why Are My Lentils Still Firm After Simmering?
If you’ve followed the timing suggestions closely but your lentils are still tough, don’t panic! It’s a very common issue that can result from several possible factors and is an easy fix no matter what.
Your tomatoes might have been particularly acidic, which slows the cooking process. In extreme cases, you can add a tiny (TINY!) pinch of baking soda to help break down the cell walls faster, but if you can spare the time, just keep simmering for 15 to 30 minutes.
Your lentils might have been old, which means they’re drier and tougher on the outside than normal. Just be patient and keep simmering for an additional 15 to 30 minutes.
If you used any lentils other than red lentils, they simply take longer to cook. Green, brown, and black lentils are all fine substitutions. Just bear in mind that they might need anywhere from 10 to 40 minutes longer to reach the same degree of doneness.
Tips for Success
- Ready-made vegan Greek yogurt or sour cream is a great garnish to cut through the heat of the chilies. You can also make a cashew sour cream recipe to go on top.
- For those that are heat-sensitive or cooking for picky kids, it’s easy to dial back the spice. If you want to make a milder version, either de-seed the pepper or omit it entirely. You can also take out the cayenne pepper.
What to Serve With Red Lentil Chili
The toppings are what really make this entrée an unforgettable meal!
Don’t skimp on my favorites:
- Vegan cheese
- Diced avocado
- Vegan Greek yogurt or sour cream
- Parsley or scallions
- Hot sauce or crushed red pepper flakes
Pair it with a hearty side dish for seriously monstrous appetites:
- Cornbread
- Biscuits
- Tortilla chips
- Crackers
- Rice
How to Store Leftovers
This chili lasts in the fridge up to 10 days. Let it cool completely before packing it in an airtight container and store in the fridge until needed. Reheat in the microwave at full power for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring as needed, until hot all the way though.
Can I Freeze Lentil Chili?
You can also easily freeze this chili instead for up to 6 months! Simply let it thaw in the fridge overnight when needed the next day. In that case, reheat according to the instructions above. If reheating directly from the freezer, microwave for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring periodically, until hot all the way through.

Stovetop Red Lentil Chili (Vegan & Gluten Free) 10 Min Prep https://jessicainthekitchen.com/one-pot-red-lentil-chili-vegan/ November 2, 2018
This moist and delectable banana bread is loaded with nutty pecans for a flavour boost! It’s so good that you can’t have just one slice!
Isn’t banana bread the best? The overripe bananas, the sweet smell wafting through your home. The ease of making and slicing. I mean, you mix all the ingredients together, pour into a pan, smooth and bake. Couldn’t get easier. My family is the biggest fan and I really wanted to make a holiday version that took it up a notch.
As you can see by the photos, I went with a Pecan Banana Bread. The pecans really add a literal nutty boost, and a delicious slight bite to each slice. I love that although they make such a delicious difference, they’re as easy as just adding into the batter. You could even add chocolate chips here too, or a generous swirl of pecan butter (YUM).
As you guys might have realised, I have a lot of pecan recipes! I’m really excited to be partnering with American Pecans for this post to share with you guys the benefits, versatility and straight up, the wonders of this gorgeous nut, which is actually the only major tree nut native to America. Personally, I just love that they taste amazing raw, toasted or baked. Like, I can snack on them either way, and definitely in beautiful banana bread.
One of the really interesting things that I’ve learned while partnering with American Pecans is that every time you enjoy pecans, you’re actually supporting thousands of American farmers. You know I’m all about supporting local, so this fact really touched my heart. Because of this, they’re hosting the first-ever Pecan-A-Thon . It’s an entertaining variety show to celebrate the versatility of pecans, starring actress and comedian Wendi McClendon Covey.
The show goes live on November 20 th on their website so be sure to check it out! I’ll of course be sharing it on my IG and FB page so you guys know as soon as it goes live. They also have a really cool hashtag #PledgePecans which is basically a fun promise to add one pecan-friendly recipe other than pecan pie to your holiday table in an effort to support local pecan growers and their families. LOVE this – since it not only helps, but ends up making for a super tasting holiday table too. So of course making these divine Pecan Banana Bread means that you’re taking part in that pledge. Win, win friends.
Of course I kept this Pecan Banana Bread gluten free, but you would never know because of the beautiful blending of ingredients. Make sure that your banana is super ripe, like black skin. I prefer to not use frozen to thawed bananas since they are so watery, but if you just pat the excess liquid with a some kitchen towels.
I hope you enjoy this Pecan Banana bread friends and that it makes it to your holiday tables (in one piece)! P.S. I’m coming out with ANOTHER recipe tomorrow with American Pecans, so look out for that! Hint: it’s cookies!
Ingredients
- 10 ounces Gluten Free Baking Flour Mix
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 flax eggs , or 2 vegan egg substitutes
- 1 cup organic brown , or coconut sugar
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 1/2 vanilla bean , or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup vegan yogurt
- 3/4 cup mashed bananas , very ripe bananas - black skin if possible
- 1 cup raw pecan pieces , chopped
- Extra pecan pieces for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Flour and butter/prepare your 9 x 5 banana bread pan. Set aside.
- In a medium sized bowl, sift the gluten free flour mix, baking powder, baking soda and sea salt and whisk to combine.
- In a mixer attachment bowl, add the flax eggs/ egg replacer , sugar and coconut oil. Mix together for about 2 minutes on medium-low speed.
- Scrape the vanilla bean or pour the extract and add to the mixture. Add the vegan yogurt and the mashed bananas and mix everything together for 2 more minutes on medium low speed, scraping down the sides and bottom to ensure everything is combined.
- Add in ½ of the dry ingredients mixture, combine for 30 seconds, and then add in the rest of the dry ingredients mixture. Mix again for another 30 seconds, ensuring everything is combined.
- Remove bowl from mixer and fold in the raw pecan pieces into the batter until evenly distributed. The batter should be thick.
- Add the batter to the banana bread pan and use your spatula to smooth down the top. Sprinkle some pecan pieces on top.
- Bake the banana bread on the top shelf of your oven for 60 minutes, until a toothpick comes out with a few crumbs. You don’t want it to come out clean, so watch your banana bread from about 50 minutes depending on your oven.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes in pan. Transfer the bread to a wire rack by placing the wire rack on top of the bread, then holding the sides of the pan and flipping it over and removing the pan. Hold the sides of the bread to turn right side up. You can also turn the pan over into your hand, and then flip right side up and place on a wire rack.
- Allow the bread to cool completely. Slice as desired. Enjoy!
