Cozy Butternut Squash & Lentil Chili 🌶️

Cozy bowl of heaven 🥣✨ Upgraded my chili game with this plant-based version served over a warm bed of brown rice.

The base is a rich blend of lentils, butternut squash, carrots, leeks, chopped scallions, and crushed tomatoes, thickened up with a touch of cornmeal and simmered in the ultimate smoky spice lineup:

-Chipotle seasoning + smoked paprika 🔥

-Cumin, oregano, & regular paprika 🌿

-Garlic powder, cayenne, salt, & pepper 🧄

It’s thick, spicy, and packed with nutrients. Trust me, you won’t even miss the meat.

If you're looking to elevate your chili experience while keeping it plant-based and nutritious, this butternut squash and lentil chili is a fantastic option. Not only does the combination of lentils and butternut squash provide a great source of protein, fiber, and vitamins, but the addition of carefully chosen spices like chipotle seasoning, smoked paprika, cumin, and oregano creates a warm, smoky flavor that’s deeply satisfying. What I love about this recipe is how versatile it is. You can easily adjust the heat level with cayenne or add more garlic powder to suit your taste. The use of cornmeal as a thickener is innovative and helps give the chili a nice, hearty texture without any meat or dairy. Plus, serving it over brown rice not only makes the dish more filling but also adds a nutty flavor that complements the chili perfectly. For those who want to customize further, consider adding other veggies like diced bell peppers or zucchini, or even tossing in some fresh herbs such as cilantro before serving for an extra layer of freshness. This chili also reheats beautifully, making it an excellent option for meal prep or cozy nights when you want something wholesome and comforting. From my experience, dishes like this are perfect for chilly days when you crave something warm and nourishing. It’s one of my go-to recipes when I want a delicious vegan meal that feels indulgent but is still wholesome and packed with nutrients. Give it a try, and you might find you don’t miss meat at all!
