How to Make Vegetarian Chili in the Crockpot
This recipe is as easy as 1, 2, 3! After throwing everything into a crockpot and letting it work its magic, this chili is ready to enjoy:
Stir all of the chili ingredients into the bowl of a slow cooker.
Place the lid on top and cook for 5 hours on Low or 2.5 hours on High.
Give it one last stir when it’s done, then serve with plenty of toppings and enjoy!
Storing and FreezingDirections
To store: Place any leftovers in an airtight container and store in the fridge for 3 to 4 days.
To freeze: Let the chili cool completely before freezing. Transfer it to airtight containers or heavy-duty freezer bags, leaving about 1 inch of space at the top to allow for expansion. Label with the date and freeze for up to 6 months. To reheat, thaw overnight in the refrigerator, then warm gently on the stove over medium heat, stirring occasionally, or reheat in the microwave until heated through.

Digging your nail polish girl! Very cute. 🙂 And this chili + fry combo, so different, yet so crazy tasty. Good to hear the positive things about the snow you lot are dealing with, to me it sounds positively glorious, especially if you are rugged up inside with amazing tukka like this. 🙂
Ashley says
I love the snow too! But we rarely get any down by us in NC! This chili looks delicious – I love a good veggie chili!

Pamela – woa – fries and chili? Why haven’t I ever thought of that!!! And I simply adore those little footbals and the cone – too too cute!
Rachel (Rachel's Kitchen NZ) says
Mmmm – delicious Pamela – just what you guys need to ward off the chilli, but I will put it away for when it gets a bit cooler:)
The Squishy Monster says
Oh yes, please! And you say there’s french fries involved? I’m in! On a completely random note, I love your nails, Pamela!
John@Kitchen Riffs says
Yeah, dipping fries into chili rocks, doesn’t it? Never tried Alexia fries, but now you have me curious! And veggie chili is one of my faves. Good stuff — thanks.
Sharon says
I love a hot chili on a cold winter day too! Add in those Alexia fries and you’ve definitely got a winner! #client

I so need to make this chili! I have yet to make any this winter. Pinned!

Your nails are painted with the colors of my soul.
Whoa, did that comment creep you out? It even creeped ME out. But seriously – this chili!! I am all about veggie-filled chili, and this one looks like a fine example of delicious cold weather fare.
Pamela says
It didn’t creep me out, it won the keys to my heart.
Heather @ Sweet Precision says
Your vegetable chili sounds so wonderful for a chilly winter day. It was only 10 degrees when I woke up and this would be the perfect lunch! I’m really interested in checking out those fries… I’ll have to go searching for them sometime soon!!
mira says
I’d love a bowl of this chili! Looks fantastic! And these fries… so cute 🙂
Kelly @ Hidden Fruits and Veggies says
Bummer that the snow kind of fizzled out in NYC. People always talk about the harsh winters in Michigan, but really we might get one storm with 8 inches a year. Kind of a bummer! And then living with the snow for months after is an extra bummer — I hate shoveling! This chili sounds like everything I love. Veggies in my chili is a must, must must. Chili fries are a semi-recent thing to me, so I love any excuse to dunk a fry in my chili.
Christin@SpicySouthernKitchen says
Fries and chili sound like the perfect comfort food for cold weather!
Ruby Red Apron says
This chili looks delicious and even more with those fries to dip in it! Yummm. I’m seriously craving some now.
Also, I love snow. It’s my favorite part about winter. Well that and comfort food! 😉

I love snowstorms! I wish we were getting blizzard-ed in the Midwest!
This chili looks fantastic. I love Alexia fries too. We buy a big bag of the waffle fries at Costco occasionally and I am sure this chili would be superb ladled on top!
Caralyn @ glutenfreehappytummy says
this is my kind of chili!
Catherine says
Looks very delicious!!

Cute fry megaphones cones!
Stacy | Wicked Good Kitchen says
Thank you for reminding me of the fond memories of expectant snow storms and the possibility of a “snow day” when schools were closed! Fun, fun. 🙂 I think slow cookers were made for chili making. There’s nothing like a hot bowl of chili in the winter to warm you up. Packed with veggies and on top of fries? Even better! Thanks for sharing, Pamela!
Betty says
Sigh. We got nothing but a little dusting of snow. As a teacher, I have to tell you it’s just as disappointing for us as it is for students when a snow storm fails to live up to the weather forecaster’s predictions! Oh well, no need to get out the shovel just yet. This chili looks so good, especially with those fries dipped in. 🙂
Launna says
I have lived on the East coast all my life too… and used to the many snow storms… only White Juan in 2004 was a shocking one to me… this latest one was icky because it rained and turned to ice with the snow on top… so pretty treacherous walking… I love walking… 🙂
I adore vegetable chili… I throw lots of good veggies in and totally enjoy it… great for cold winter nights.
i hope you stayed safe xox

I can’t believe I haven’t made chili this year. I guess it’s time to pull out my slow cooker again :). This looks great
