Roasted Veggie Chili on a Sheet Pan

February 6, 2024   11 Comments

This roasted veggie chili on a sheet pan is so easy! You only need to clean one pan after making it.

Why would you make chili on sheet pan? I know it sounds crazy but it allows you to roast cauliflower and a poblano chili. Have you ever had roasted veggies in chili?

If you love meat in your chili you might convert to a vegetarian after tasting this version.

Roasting vegetables deepens their flavor and emphasizes their sweetness. All that bitterness that people hate in vegetables disappears when you roast them. The caramelization that happens at high heat makes vegetables taste sweeter.

I have been advocating for roasting your vegetables for years. Check out my roasted winter vegetables recipe or my asparagus in the oven post.

I am not making this up – I actually roasted asparagus on a local TV show. My devotion to roasted veggies is deep.

This recipe includes roasting cauliflower, a poblano chili pepper, and scallions. If you can’t find a poblano pepper – no worries! Just use a red or green bell pepper.

All you need for successful roasting is a big rimmed baking sheet and a little bit of olive oil or vegetable oil.

In this recipe, I used a tablespoon of vegetable oil and I broiled the veggies for about 7 minutes before I added the rest of the chili ingredients.

The other nice touch with this method is that you end up toasting the cumin and chili powder so that you enhance their flavor. I feel the best chili is a flavorful chili and you don’t need meat! You do need some cooking tricks to get that umami flavor that meat provides (and that we all love).

Have you ever made roasted veggie chili? What did you think?
