Thai Butternut Squash Curry

Thai Butternut Squash Curry is a rich vegetarian curry filled with squash, chickpeas, onions, and spinach. Ready in under 45 minutes!

This post and recipe was created for #FallFlavors! I was sent samples by some of the sponsor companies but as always opinions are 100% mine.

This week I am celebrating fall flavors with a bunch of friends. At the end of this post, just past the recipe, you will find a listing fall inspired recipes and a fun giveaway from the event sponsors.

I love curry, and thai curry is one of my very favorites. It is easy to make at home and the flavors are incredible.

I really like red curry, and used that as a base for my Thai Butternut Squash Curry. I also used a little curry powder and peanut butter to add even more flavor to this dish. This dish is so saucy, rich, sweet, spicy, and creamy.

I like to make this curry without meat, but it is very easy to add in a little chopped chicken, beef, pork, or shrimp.

I was gifted a beautiful box of produce from Melissa's Produce and it was the best inspiration for my Thai Butternut Squash Curry. I received delicious fall favorites like squash, onions, herbs, sweet potatoes, apples, carrots, and pears!
