Directions

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato, red bell pepper, and cauliflower florets with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper.

  3. Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes until they are tender and slightly caramelized.

  4. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until they become fragrant and translucent.

  5. Add the curry powder, turmeric, salt, and pepper to the pot. Stir well to coat the onions and garlic with the spices.

  6. Pour in the diced tomatoes (with their juice), coconut milk, and vegetable broth. Stir to combine. Add the rinsed chickpeas to the pot and stir everything together. Bring the mixture to a boil.

  7. Reduce the heat to low and let the stew simmer uncovered for about 15–20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Stir occasionally.

  8. Remove the roasted vegetables from the oven and add them to the pot. Stir gently to incorporate them into the stew. Serve the curried chickpea stew in bowls, garnished with fresh cilantro.

    Very flavorful and delicious. The only thing I changed was instead of diced tomatoes, I used crushed tomatoes with basil, added grated ginger, and added kale at the end.
