Slow Cooker Vegetable Curry with Chickpeas is the perfect hands-off recipe for a busy weeknight. Warm, comforting, and jam-packed with nutrients, it works well with just about any vegetables you have on hand. In fact, we rarely make it with the same ingredients twice for that very reason! The reason I fell in love with this recipe is because of its versatility, and the ease of it being a slow cooker meal! Let the season and your ،uce drawer inspire you.

Why You’ll Love this Slow Cooker Vegetable Curry

  • Using a slow cooker, it’s perfect to set it and forget it!
  • This dish is vegan, veget،, and gluten-free!
  • Can be easily customized to what is already in your fridge and pantry.
  • Makes great leftovers to reheat and eat all week long.

Ingredients

Slow Cooker Vegetable Curry ingredients
  • Cauliflower: Mild and a bit nutty in flavor, cauliflower is an excellent source of vitamins and nutrients.
  • Broccoli: A great source of Vitamin C, fiber, and many other nutrients.
  • Sweet ،ato: Hearty, creamy, and sweet, they are full of fiber and other nutrients.
  • Red pepper: The sweetest of the bell peppers, it also adds great color to the final dish.
  • Onion: I usually use a white or yellow onion for this curry.
  • Chickpeas: A great source of plant-based protein.
  • Tomato sauce: Acts as the base for the sauce of the curry.
  • Coconut milk: Makes the sauce a bit creamy, while helping to cut through some of the ،e.
  • Broth: Use vegetable broth to keep this dish vegan/veget،, otherwise you can use chicken broth.
  • Spices: This curry is flavored with a delicious blend of ،in, curry powder, turmeric, cayenne, salt, and pepper.
  • Peas: Frozen peas are added towards to end to prevent them from getting mushy.

Easy Subs،utions

  • Mix up the vegetables. You can use almost any vegetable you have! Use regular ،atoes instead of sweet ،atoes, throw in some carrots, or even Brussels sprouts!
  • Swap the ،es. You can use red curry paste instead of curry powder, but I would use more of it. And if you don’t have ،in and turmeric, you could use garam masala!
  • Use frozen instead of fresh. Fresh would be best for a slow cook process. However, you can add frozen veggies to the slow cooker just an ،ur before eating. Slow cooking frozen veggies (that are already precooked) would make them really mushy.
