For a thrifty and hearty meal, look no further than this vegan Curried Root Vegetable Casserole. Carrots, parsnips and potatoes are smothered in a rich and creamy tomato coconut sauce.
This is a comforting one-pot meal that the whole family will enjoy. Red lentils and chickpeas boost the protein content of this recipe. Serve it with wholegrain rice and / or wholemeal pitta bread. Sprinkles of fresh coriander and spring onions will add extra flavours.
This Curried Root Vegetable Casserole is quite straightforward to make, just make sure you cut the vegetables in even pieces (as per instructions below) so they cook evenly together.
Today we celebrate Earth Day 2019 with a focus this year on protecting the millions of species that inhabit our planet.
The unprecedented global destruction and rapid reduction of plant and wildlife populations are directly linked to causes driven by human activity: climate change, deforestation, habitat loss, trafficking and poaching, unsustainable agriculture, pollution and pesticides to name a few. The impacts are far reaching.
Food, especially meat production, takes a major toll on the environment. Each week, many of us makes decisions about food 3 times a day, 7 days a week. That’s 21 opportunities to make a difference and help preserve species around us. One of the easiest way to reduce our ecological footprint is to choose to eat less meat.
This Earth Day I have teamed up with other bloggers to create the selection of delicious sustainable food recipes below. Enjoy!

This casserole sounds absolutely scrumptious! I love curry flavors but I don’t always want to prepare a proper curry. This is packed full of delicious veggies and legumes and looks delicious! Thank you for participating in our Earth Day event! ❤️
Thanks Valentina. Lovely event. Thanks for including me.
This sounds divine! I love all these flavors in here – can’t wait to try it out.
Thank you. Hope you like it!
Incredible recipe! Maybe one of the best veggie curries I’ve ever made. I used proportionately more ingredients (about 500g each of the potatoes, carrots and parsnip) and coconut milk instead of creamed coconut. It’s so rich and spicy, and the texture of the parsnips is just wonderful. Thanks!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for your feedback. Annabelle x
