Cauliflower Chickpea Sweet Potato Curry

“No fuss and no regrets” is my weeknight dinner motto. That’s why I love the slow cooker so much. To me, slow-cooker recipes and busy weeknights go hand-in-hand.

With protein-packed chickpeas, nutrient-rich veggies, and bold flavors of coconut and curry, this delicious, hearty stew rings in at less than 250 calories per serving. I serve mine over quinoa, but any whole grain would work great, or you could serve it alone.

The Recipe: 

• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/2 medium white onion, chopped
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
• 1 can no-sodium-added chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 2 cups fresh cherry tomatoes
• 2 cups cauliflower florets
• 2 sweet potatoes, diced
• 1 cup organic light coconut milk
• 1 cup unsalted vegetable stock
• 1 1/2 tablespoons curry powder
• 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• pepper to taste

Sauté onions and garlic over medium heat for about 5 minutes, or until aromatic. Transfer the onions and garlic to the slow cooker. Add the remaining ingredients and cook on high for 4 hours, or low for 6-8 hours. Serve alone or over brown rice or quinoa.
