How to Make Roasted Red Pepper Curry
This curry starts with the SAUCE! Sweet and smoky roasted red peppers blend with diced tomatoes, coconut milk, curry powder, salt, and (optional) black pepper for a rich, creamy, vibrant, and balanced base. You can use store-bought curry powder for a shortcut, but we love using our go-to DIY curry powder in this recipe and always have it on hand for seasoning everything from parsnip fries to cabbage to golden curry lentil soup and beyond. It’s so versatile and requires just 5 minutes and basic pantry spices to make! With the sauce ready, we transition to the veggies and chickpeas with our favorite kitchen tool for a speedy, hands-off meal: the Instant Pot! If you don’t have an Instant Pot, don’t worry — we also included stovetop instructions. With either method, sauté the onion, sweet potatoes, garlic, and ginger, then add the chickpeas and roasted red pepper sauce. After sealing the Instant Pot lid, the curry pressure cooks for just 2 minutes. Yes, we mean TWO. That’s not an error, friends. We told you the Instant Pot was speedy! Let the pressure release, then stir in your favorite greens for a pop of color and nutrition! We hope you LOVE this red pepper curry! It’s:RichCreamyComfortingNaturally sweetVersatile& SO delicious! We love serving it with coconut rice, brown rice, or white rice and topping with garnishes of cilantro, lime, and jalapeño. It would also pair beautifully with our Easy Vegan Naan or Fluffy Gluten-Free Naan (Yeast-Free, 20 Minutes!).
