A delightful Eggplant Sweet Potato Curry Recipe that is perfect for Meal-Prep. Fully Plant-Based, Vegan & Gluten-Free.
We have been meal-prepping every week in our household for the past several months since Mitja wished for homemade meals at work. It is life-changing, but also, life-changing. There is nothing better than a home cooked meal for lunch, instead of take-outs. But eating home cooked meals does come with the challenge of actually cooking (and cleaning up). Sometimes it feels that’s all I do any more. Cook and clean up, repeat.
We do not like prepping our meals for the whole week ahead, because not every meal will safely last that long, but we usually meal-prep 3-4 meals at a time, so 1 recipe will last us both 2 days.
I can talk more about how we meal prep (just let us know in the comments if this is something that would be of interest to you), but I would first focus on this delicious meal-prep recipe we made today.
This is a slightly spicy Eggplant Sweet Potato Curry, that is easy to make, as all our meals are, and comes together in about 30 minutes, making enough food for 4 meals.
The Eggplant Sweet Potato Curry uses coconut milk for the sauce and a touch of harissa sauce, which makes it slightly spicy. But, if you do not like spicy food, just leave the harissa sauce out. This meal is plant-based, vegan and gluten-free!
To make this curry we combined eggplant and sweet potatoes. And if you’re not going to be eating it soon, you can freeze it as well to have on hand on a busy day!
