This Slow Cooker Sweet Potato Curry is creamy, comforting, veggie packed and delicious. A simple vegan dinner idea!
This sweet potato curry is the perfect recipe to make when you are short on time, but want something filling & comforting. Add everything to the slow cooker, cook for 2-4 hours and then you are ready to serve. I like to eat this over hot rice with crispy naan on the side!
How to Make Slow Cooker Sweet Potato Curry
The best part about slow cooker recipes is how easy they come together. Other than doing a little peeling and chopping, there isn’t much to this recipe.
Prep the sweet potatoes – you want to peel them and cut them into cubes. Slice the bell pepper, onion & serrano, drain & rinse a can of chickpeas, and mince fresh ginger & garlic.
To the slow cooker, add broth, coconut milk, red curry paste and low sodium soy sauce. Add in all of the prepped veggies and give everything a good stir. Cover and cook on high for 2 hours or low for 4 hours.
More Veggies
Because we all love extra veggies, we’re not quite done. After the curry is done cooking, remove the lid and turn the slow cooker to high. Add in a bunch of chopped kale, cilantro and lime juice.
Let this cook for another 30 minutes. You want the kale to be wilted, but not mushy. That’s why I love using kale in this recipe – it holds up well in the broth.
How to Serve
Now it is time to serve! I like to give the curry one last taste. You can always add more lime juice for acid or another splash of soy sauce for umami. Make the curry your own and play around with it.
I like to eat this over hot rice with LOTS of fresh cilantro, more lime wedges on the side and some naan. This curry is so simple, so tasty and makes the BEST leftovers!

Notes
Delicious! My daughter and her family are coming in to town tonight and it is still chilly here. It’s perfect- savory and a lil sweet, full of wonderful veggies!
I did mine on high for 2 hours and was done right on time!
They will love it!
Yayyyy! So glad it was a hit for the whole family!
This was absolutely delicious! I made the recipe as written, added the Serrano pepper and it gave it just the right amount of spice. My family (all adults) loved it. It’s a keeper for sure!
Thanks!
Thanks so much Linda. So glad it was a hit for the whole family!
took double the time on high. Mediocre flavor. Kids wouldn’t eat it and they are a healthy vegan. I won’t make it again
This took FOREVER to cook. 2 hours has turned into 6. And that was with it on high the hole time. The taste and flavor are ok.
Making this today and, based purely on the smell, I can’t wait. Can I ask what brands you use? I’ve worked out that mine is only 260 calories and that’s divided into only 4 portions. I’m worried I’ve gone and done something stupidly wrong 🤣🤣
Hi Frankie – all of the nutrition info is just an estimate. Calculating it yourself with the actual ingredients you’re using is always best. I’m sure your math was correct 😉
does this freeze well?
Thank you1
Yes, you can definitely freeze this. Just be sure to let it cool completely before freezing!
Turned out great! It took me longer to cook but I think it is just my new slow cooker…
Hi. Recipe says ‘slow cooker’ but the video shows an Insta Pot which I don’t own. Which one is the recipe for?
Instant pot has a slow cook function – it is a 2 in 1. It is in fact a slow cooker recipe!
