I know you have all been dying for this recipe since I posted a sneak peak a few weeks ago on Instagram.
I’ve got a bunch of healthy dinner recipes coming your way this fall, so you can sit back and kick off your shoes because dinner is about to get really easy!
Now you can enjoy this Gluten-Free & Vegan Chickpea Gumbo all to yourself instead of living vicariously through my Instagram images!
It’s perfect for dinner and fabulous for lunch leftovers the next day, too.
I made this dish over the summer but I’ll certainly be making it again and again throughout the fall and winter because it’s such a hearty dish that can warm you up on a chilly day or any day, for that matter.
The best part of this gumbo is that it literally melts in your mouth and it’s pretty impossible to not want to make it again and again and again. Trust me. Try it once…you’ll see what I mean.
It’s not hard to finish the whole pot in one sitting. And it goes great on top of quinoa or brown rice, too.
Just a little food for thought.
Get your spoons ready, folks…this one is another keeper.
- ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- ¼ cup gluten-free all purpose flour
- 1 medium white onion, finely chopped
- 1 large organic bell pepper, diced
- 1 stalk organic celery, diced
- 1 cup lentils
- 2 large organic carrots, thinly sliced
- 2 large white potatoes, diced
- 1½ cups okra (fresh or frozen)
- 1 (15 ounce) can organic chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 (28 ounce) can organic diced tomatoes
- 4 cups organic vegetable broth
- 1 Tbsp. Simply Organic Chili Powder
- ½ tsp. Frontier Organic Seafood Seasoning
- ½ tsp. Simply Organic Paprika
- ¼ tsp. sea salt
- ¼ tsp. freshly ground pepper
- 1 cup quinoa
- In a large pot over medium heat, combine oil and flour; cook for 2 minutes or until it turns a light brown color, then add in onion, bell pepper and celery. Cook for another 6-7 minutes or until onions are translucent. Add remaining ingredients except quinoa; lower heat to low. Cover and cook for 45 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
- Meanwhile, cook quinoa according to package ingredients.
- Serve gumbo warm over cooked quinoa.

Thanks Donna; so glad you enjoyed it!!
I made this for dinner tonight….amazing
Wahoooo! So happy to hear that Erin. Have a great night!
I thought for the longest time that I hated okra. I was wrong. And this gumbo needs to be made very soon. What would you reccommend as an accompanyment? When I make chili, my husband always looks for cornbread or corn muffins. I’m just not sure what I could make with a gumbo since I’ve never made it.
Thank you so much!! Great to hear from you. Cornbread or Canyon Bakehouse gluten free bread pairs well with this meal! Enjoy. Xxoo
Looks amazing, bookmarked this – I love all your vegan recipes.
Thanks Louise! Enjoy!!
