But back to this beautiful bowl of comfort. You know you should just feel free to load up a mug of chili now and grab a good book because it’s going to make you crave cuddling on the couch.

And while most vegetarian chili recipes are chock-full of black beans to replace the ground beef, this easy recipe is so not. Just great veggies sauteed in a large saucepan and served over cauliflower rice, if you want a little extra yum.

Plus, it’s gluten-free if you just make sure your spices trend that way. Perfection in a bowl.

Let’s do this.

How to Make Low Carb Vegetarian Chili

Place olive oil in a large stock pot over medium low heat.

Add diced onion, celery, and bell pepper.

Sautee these veggies until they’re tender and the onions are translucent.

Add vegetable juice, stock, water, diced tomatoes (including juice), diced tomatoes with chilies (including juice), and squash.

Stir to combine.

Season the chili with chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, cumin, black pepper, and cayenne.

Cover chili and simmer for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally. Or, if you’d like to make this in the slow cooker, you can always just pop the chili into that on high for 2-4 hours.

Enjoy!

How Long Does Low Carb Vegetarian Chili Last?

If you want to leave your chili out for a party or one of those all-day-snacking events that you sometimes have if you’ve got kids…well, I’d recommend using the slow cooker to keep it warm. But you can definitely keep it out for a day and not have to worry.

To keep your low carb chili overnight, though, it definitely needs to be in an airtight container in the fridge.

In the fridge, this chili recipe will last at least 7-10 days, as long as you’re putting it in an airtight container–that’s really key to keep it from getting eww.

Then, you can just pop them into a microwave-safe bowl and warm it up.

Can You Freeze Low Carb Vegetarian Chili?

Yes, absolutely. This is a great main dish to do meal planning with. Just portion your low carb chili into small airtight dishes then pop them into the freezer.

When you’re ready to have a bite, you’ll want to defrost and then warm the vegetarian chili in the microwave.

Easy peasy!

What are the best toppings for this keto chili recipe? 

When you make a large pot of this low carb chili recipe, be sure that you have topping on hand! Since chili is typically a comfort food, use toppings that compliment this yummy chili recipe. 

Diced green onions, diced green peppers, green chilies, and a dollop of sour cream are a few of my favorite toppings for this homemade chili. Fresh cilantro is an awesome flavor as well and pairs well with the remaining ingredients. 

You can also pair this recipe with low carb cornbread for the perfect meal! 

How often can I eat this low carb dinner recipe? 

That’s the thing about this easy chili recipe. If you’re looking for a low carb version like this, and a good chili that has a ton of flavor, why not make it your favorite chili recipe to eat quite often? 

A little bit of meal planning is all that needs to happen so that this great recipe is on your dinner table a few times a month. 

If you’re on a vegan diet and are looking for a way to make this traditional chili recipe into a vegan chili recipe, just omit anything dairy. This recipe is a great way to appeal to a wide variety of dietary needs and wants, and is simple and easy to alter. 

I think that this is a delicious vegetarian recipe that helps to control your carb intake. I might even go out on a limb and say that this is the best low carb keto chili recipe, ever!
