Jambalaya has always held a special place in my heart.
I remember the first time I tried it at a cozy little restaurant, the aroma of spices swirling around me made me feel right at home.
I’ve created a vegan version that captures all that flavor while being plant-based.
Plus, it’s packed with veggies and whole grains, making it a wholesome meal I can feel good about sharing with friends and family.

Ingredients & Substitutions
Using brown rice not only adds a nutty flavor but also boosts the fiber content. If you're short on time, you can use white rice, but adjust the cooking time accordingly. Fresh herbs at the end really elevate the dish!
Tips & Notes
- •I love making a big batch of this and freezing leftovers for busy weeknights!
- •For an extra kick, add a dash of hot sauce when serving.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I’ll add some vegan sausage for extra protein and flavor.
- •You can switch up the beans too; chickpeas work wonderfully in this dish.
Storage & Freezing
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. It also freezes well—just thaw and reheat when you’re ready to enjoy it again!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I add more veggies?
