Now that we have covered a few quick things to note for this recipe, let’s go through the list of ingredients you will need to make this vegan sweet potato curry.
Vegan Sweet Potato Curry – Ingredients
- Sweet Potato – The first essential ingredient you will need for this recipe is, of course, the sweet potato.
- Chickpeas – The chickpeas are another essential ingredient for this delicious vegan curry. They add a ton of flavor and some plant based protein to the dish.
- Mushrooms – Mushrooms are one of my favorite veggies, so I had to include them in this curry dish. While they aren’t typically found in traditional curry, I added them in for some extra flavor and nutrients.
- Bell Pepper – The bell pepper adds a ton of flavor to this curry recipe. I like to use red or orange bell pepper, as I think these varieties have a bit more sweetness than green bell pepper.
- Baby Carrots – The baby carrots pair extremely well with the other veggies and spices present in this vegan curry. They are an essential ingredient for my vegan curry recipe.
- Yellow Onion – The yellow onion combines perfectly with all of the other veggies and spices present in this tasty sweet potato and chickpea curry.
- Greens – The greens add a ton of nutrients to this sweet potato curry. They tend to shrink down a lot as they cook. You can use whichever greens you prefer or have on hand. I used some power greens that I picked up from Trader Joe’s, which has a mix of kale, spinach, and chard.
- Red Curry Paste – The red curry paste is an absolutely essential ingredient which adds a ton of flavor and spice to this curry. After all, you can’t have a curry dish without the curry flavor.
- Minced Garlic – Minced garlic is a key ingredient in this delicious vegan curry. It adds a ton of flavor to this recipe.
- Turmeric – Turmeric adds beautiful color and flavor to this curry. It is a vibrant orange colored spice.
- Cumin – The cumin is another spice you will use in this vegan sweet potato curry.
- Garlic Powder – Garlic powder adds even more garlic flavor to this vegan curry.
- Onion Powder – The onion powder adds some onion flavor to the sweet potato curry.
- Coconut Milk – Coconut milk is the first important source of liquid you will need for the curry. The coconut flavor blends perfectly with the other key flavors present in this recipe.
- Water – The water adds extra liquid to this curry recipe. However, if you want a really strong coconut flavor, you can sub the water out for extra coconut milk.
