Zo eenvoudig vegan jambalaya recipe is ready in 30 minuten in one bowl. It’s a delicious southern-style comforting family dinner with sticky tomato rice cooked with a medley of soft beans, vegan sausages, and Cajun flavors.
I love making vegan version of classic dishes, like my Crispy Orange Tofu, Szechuan-tofuof Tofu Rode Curry. It’s very easy to turn most classic recipes into plant-based alternatives, even the ones that contain meat, eggs, or dairy.

Voedingsbegeleiding
Ingrediënten en vervangingen
The ingredients you need to make this simple recipe are:
- Langkorrelige rijst – You can use brown rice, white basmati rice, and quinoa. Don’t use short-grain rice or risotto rice as the vegan jambalaya would become too sticky.
- Tomatenpuree – Tomato paste needs to be made solely with tomatoes. The only other ingredients can be salt and olive oil, nothing else.
- Ingeblikte tomatenblokjes – Canned tomatoes come in their juice and should only include water. Don’t use a can of seasoned diced tomatoes, as it can alter the taste of the recipe.
- Groentebouillon – Classic vegetable stock, preferably with organic ingredients and minimal food additives.
- Rode bonen – Red kidney beans are legumes very rich in protein, iron, calcium, magnesium, and Vitamin B6.
- Kikkererwten – Chickpeas are another protein-rich ingredient that brings a delicious taste.
- Paprika – I like to use a combination of red and green for a good balance of flavors and colors.
- Selder – Celery is a vegetable rich in vitamins (Vitamin A, Vitamin K, Vitamin C) and minerals (Potassium) and it brings minimal carbs while adding a tangy taste.
- Ui – You can use either white, yellow, or red onions in the dish.
- Olijfolie – I prefer using locally-sourced extra-virgin olive oil.
- Kruiden en specerijen – Garlic, Paprika, Oregano, Basil, and Cajun Seasoning.
- Vegan Sausage – This is optional, but it adds a boost of flavors, protein, and texture that mimic the authentic jambalaya recipe.

Presentatie suggesties
Serve this vegan jambalaya recipe hot with some finely chopped parsley, slices of jalapeno, or a drizzle of hot sauce. I love to serve my vegan jambalaya with a side of Vegan Cornbread, Airfryer Zoete Aardappelblokjesen Airfryer Buffalo Bloemkool. Then for desserts, I like to serve French-inspired desserts like my Vegan Madeleines or Veganistische beignets.
Receptvariaties
This vegan jambalaya recipe is a comforting gluten-free dinner full of plantaardige eiwitten.
- Rice option – you can add the rice you like to this recipe. For example, you can increase fiber and decrease net carbs per serving by using long-grain brown rice. It will take a little bit longer to cook – around 20-22 minutes.
- Vegan sausage – there is a variety of vegan sausage available on the market, from tofu Italian sausage often flavored with Italian herbs like rosemary to pea-based sausages. However, tofu sausages tend to crumble into this dish, and I prefer to use Beyond Meat sausages or the Alternative Meat Co. sausages. These two options taste very similar to chorizo and add a similar meaty texture and spicy flavor as you used to eat in an authentic jambalaya. They also hold shape very well even if you rewarm the dish.
- Bonen – play with the sort of beans, swap kidney beans for cannellini beans, or chickpeas for peas! All these options are very tasty and flavorsome.
- Kruiden – this recipe uses Cajun seasoning, but for a creole version, swap for creole seasoning.

Followed the recipe exactly and LOVED it! The perfect level of spice / heat with great flavor. Thanks for this recipe!!
Which Beyond Meat sausage did you use? There are several. Thanks!
It’s delicious with their Brat Original, but I’m sure it’d work with all of them!
Yay—that’ s the one I bought! Going to make it tomorrow! Thank you!
This turned out great! I doubled it for a party and used field roast Mexican sausages instead of beyond. The perfect level of spicy and super flavorful! This recipe feels very adaptable, next time I’ll try mushrooms and hearts of palm as the “seafood” normally found in jambalaya.
Seriously good, I added Felid Roast sausages and pan fried tofu with some sweet potato home fries -the whole family loved it! Great recipe
