Description

A creamy, deeply flavorful vegan curry featuring oven-roasted cauliflower florets and sweet pumpkin cubes simmered in a spiced coconut milk sauce.


Ingredients

Scale

1 small cauliflower, cut into florets
3 cups pumpkin, peeled and cubed (Sugar Pie or Kabocha)
3 tbsp olive oil, divided
1 tsp ground turmeric
1 large onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
3 tbsp red or yellow curry paste
1 can (14oz) full-fat coconut milk
1 cup vegetable broth
1 tbsp maple syrup
1 lime, juiced
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh cilantro for garnish


Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). On a large baking sheet, toss the cauliflower florets and pumpkin cubes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, turmeric, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer and roast for 25-30 minutes until tender and caramelized with charred edges.
Step 2: While vegetables roast, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes until soft. Stir in the garlic and ginger, cooking for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 3: Add the curry paste to the pot and stir constantly for 2 minutes to toast the spices. Slowly pour in the coconut milk, vegetable broth, and maple syrup. Bring to a gentle simmer.
Step 4: Once the roasted vegetables are ready, carefully stir them into the coconut sauce. Let the roasted cauliflower and pumpkin curry simmer together for 5-10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Step 5: Stir in the lime juice and adjust seasoning with extra salt if needed. Serve hot over rice, garnished with fresh cilantro.

Notes

Using fresh pumpkin is highly recommended for the best texture, but butternut squash also works as a great substitute.
