This hearty vegetarian beet chili is made with roasted beets and beans. Quick, simple recipe for summer cookout. To keep it vegan, omit the Romano cheese

Have you tried beets in a chili recipe before?

Its the perfect dense texture that will fool the most ardent meat-eaters.

Some of my meat eating friends always complained that vegetarian food doesn’t seem to feed the soul!

In my quest to show them some delicious vegetarian meals that are comforting too, I went on a quest for hearty ingredients.

That’s how I discovered that roasted beets are a great way to make any meal dense and hearty.

Then, this recipe was born and my friends had to concede that

It has ingredients that are not the norm in many chili recipes

For one, it has beets. They give this vegetarian chili a very “meaty” texture. To the point that you will not even notice that it doesn’t have any meat in it.

Also included in this recipe is habanero peppers. They are high on the scoville scale so they will make for a spicy meal. If used correctly, the habanero can add the perfect level of spiciness to any recipe.

I have tried this vegetarian beet chili recipe in the past without the beets and they just feel and taste like soup. So, I make sure that I include beets in every one of my recipes.

The beans are also a star in this recipe. I went with pinto beans, black beans and kidney beans. I think that is enough beans, right?

All 3 beans contribute a delicious flavor to this recipe.

Give my vegetarian beet chili recipe a try and let me know what you think. I also have a vegetarian chili with mushrooms which is just as delicious and hearty.

For beet lovers, I have a super healthy and delicious beet salad, beet hummus, beet canape and beet tart recipe that you just can’t resist.
