How to Make Vegan Sweet Potato Curry
You wouldn’t believe how easy it is to make this vegan sweet potato curry! You’ll want to start by first rounding up all of your ingredients. There’s nothing worse than getting half way through a recipe only to realize that you’re missing an ingredient.
Once all of your ingredients have been gathered, dice your sweet potatoes and prepare them to go in the oven. Wondering if the sweet potatoes need to be peeled? It’s totally up to you! I like to leave them on, as you don’t notice them in the final dish.
It’s important not to cut your sweet potatoes too big, or they will take longer to cook. Half inch pieces will be ready in about 25 minutes. Transfer the diced sweet potatoes to a baking sheet and drizzle with oiI, then season with salt and pepper for a little flavor. Transfer them to the oven and allow them to bake for 20-25 minutes.
While the sweet potatoes are baking, you’ll start preparing the curry. Like most curries, you’ll start with a little minced garlic and onion. Sauté this in a medium pan over low medium heat with vegan butter until the onions are translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
Once those have been sautéed, add in the green bell peppers and saute until they have softened a bit. At this point you’re ready to add the seasonings- Jamaican curry powder, garlic powder, ground ginger and thyme. Stir until combined. Next, add the unsweetened almond milk, vegetable broth and the cornstarch + water mixture.
Continue stirring all of the ingredients together until they are well combined. Increase the temperature in order to bring the mixture to a low boil, then let it simmer for a bit. You’ll notice that the mixture will start to thicken. By the time you’re done with the sauce, the sweet potatoes should be almost ready.
Once the sweet potatoes are finished baking, remove them from the oven and carefully transfer them to the pan with the curry sauce. Stir the sweet potato curry until all of the potatoes are covered and garnish with chives. Enjoy!
Can I Use Coconut Milk Instead of Almond?
This sweet potato curry recipe is made without using coconut milk, but if you’d like to use it go right ahead! Alternatively you can use soy milk as a substitute if need be.
