I’m a huge fan of this Vegan Sweet Potato Curry. It SEEMS like a lot of ingredients, and I suppose it is – but most of them are spices, that you’re going to blend into some serious deliciousness.

I used to make this on New Year’s Eve (of all days), because I had a bunch of friends who had varying dietary needs.

This vegan sweet potato curry is a favorite for everyone. Gluten-Free, Vegetarian, Vegan it’s low in fat, and high in veggies… about the only person, it won’t make happy is someone on a low-carb diet. But the rest totally counts for something, right?
