4 Great Vegetarian Bean Recipes (2024)

Vegetarian

I adore beans.

Just lust after beans.

Black, garbanzo, pinto, red, you name it. They’re inexpensive, filling, and they make me realize healthy and delicious are not mutually exclusive.

Here are the four bean recipes I love most:

1. Vegan Black Bean Burgers

2. Baked Falafel with Lemon Tahini Sauce

3. Spicy Garlic and Lime Black Bean Enchiladas

4. Slow Cooked Sweet Potato Chili

    All of these look super delicious, but I’m positively drooling over the falafel! I love cooking with beans as well, and probably do so much more often than cooking with meat!

    Thank you so much for these chickpea friendly recipes!
    I went vegetarian over a year ago, and I don’t miss meat, in fact I am in love with every legume I have had the pleasure of meeting (and eating!). New ways to enjoy my little friends are always welcome. Thanks Andie.
    I can’t wait to try the falafel and the black bean enchiladas! Yummy :)

    I need to try the black bean burgers. I’ve been scared to give those a go when I see them because I’m afraid they’ll be dry. We’re not dijon fans, I assume you could use regular mustard?

    I made your chili last week (w/out beef) and I LOVED it. Healthy comfort food that fills me up is the best. Those burgers look gooooooood….think I’ll try those this week.

    These all look so good– I’m all about adapting meat-based recipes for my veggie lifestyle, but it’s also nice when no adaptation is needed. Thanks for making my mouth water for falafel at 10 am :)
