This Vegan Jambalaya is packed with flavor from fresh veggies and tons of spice! And this one pot meal is easy to prepare in under an hour.

I’ve been thinking about creating a Vegan Jambalaya recipe for quite a while. I just love spicy food and the flavors and spice in traditional jambalaya are amazing. It’s typically loaded with tomatoes, onions, paprika, oregano, cayenne pepper, thyme, and garlic. Doesn’t that sound divine? I had to create a meatless version of this Creole favorite!

So when I saw my favorite Mahatma Rice was included in the Spring Savings sales at Publix, I had to grab a few packages and try my hand at this One-Pot Vegan Jambalaya.

Let’s Make Vegan Jambalaya!

You won’t believe how simple this recipe is to prepare. I love how flexible it is – you can pretty much use any combination of veggies that you have on hand. I used a mix of purple sweet potatoes, green beans, colorful bell peppers, sweet onions, and mushrooms.

Aren’t these veggies gorgeous? I was so excited to find these purple sweet potatoes – they add so much color to the dish.

Start off by simply washing and chopping all the vegetables. Then, quickly sauté them in a bit of olive oil. I cooked the potatoes for a few minutes before adding everything else, since they take a bit longer to soften.

Next, add the spice! I used a Creole seasoning mix and a generous amount of garlic. If you prefer to make your own creole seasoning for the jambalaya – you can make a mix of paprika, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, dried basil, cayenne pepper, dehydrated onion, thyme, and garlic powder.

Then add a bit of TABASCO® Sauce to kick up the heat! I love the unique flavor of this sauce – there’s nothing else quite like it. And guess what? The TABASCO Sauce is also included in the Spring Savings Sale at Publix!

Once the veggies and spices are cooked, add some fire roasted tomatoes and vegetable broth. This ends up being the cooking liquid for the rice – and it makes the jambalaya so much more flavorful than just cooking the rice with water.

When the broth comes up to a boil, add the rice and simmer for about 20 minutes. I used the Mahatma long grain rice, which is totally perfect for this veggie jambalaya.

And that’s it – perfect vegan jambalaya in under an hour!
