2 medium carrots, sliced

1 medium zucchini, diced

1 cup green beans, trimmed and cut into halves

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1 tablespoon curry powder

1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté the diced onion for about 3-4 minutes until translucent. Add the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

    Combine Ingredients: In the crockpot, combine the sautéed onion, garlic, and ginger mixture with the coconut milk, vegetable broth, bell pepper, carrots, zucchini, green beans, chickpeas, curry powder, turmeric, cumin, chili powder, soy sauce, and salt and pepper. Stir everything well to incorporate the spices and flavors.

      Cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3 hours, stirring occasionally if possible.

        Final Adjustments: Taste the curry before serving and adjust seasoning as needed. If you prefer a thicker curry, you can blend a small portion of the curry and then stir it back in.

          Serve: Serve the curry hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice over cooked rice or with naan bread.
