Have tons of veggies left in your fridge that you need to use? This is the dish for you! I wanted to use last week’s produce up and decided to roast it all and make a meal out of it. Just chop veggies, cook them up with chickpeas, and then make a sauce to tie everything together. I wanted to make a creamy curry sauce to tie it all in, which was inspired by the eggplant and chickpeas to make it more of a curry dish. It turned out to be super filling and delicious, and I felt good afterwards knowing I had all of those veggies. The sauce is creamy, mild, smoky, and flavorful which was perfect drizzled on top. I didn’t tell Josh that it was curry until afterwards, I let him think it was BBQ flavor! 🤣
