Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Drain and rinse the chickpeas, then pat them dry with a kitchen towel. In a bowl, toss the chickpeas with a drizzle of olive oil, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 12-15 minutes until they turn crispy and golden brown.
  2. In a large skillet or pot, heat 2 tablespoons of coconut oil over medium heat. Add the diced sweet Vidalia onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until it becomes translucent.
  3. Stir in 2 minced garlic cloves and 1 tablespoon of freshly grated ginger root into the sautéed onion. Cook for about 1 minute until the mixture becomes aromatic.
  4. Incorporate 2-3 tablespoons of Thai yellow curry paste into the skillet and stir for 1-2 minutes until it toasts slightly.
  5. Add the sliced carrot, diced red bell pepper, and broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir well for about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Pour in 1 can (14 oz) of coconut milk, 1 cup of vegetable broth, and 2 tablespoons of soy sauce into the pot. Stir in half of the roasted chickpeas if made.
  7. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low to simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes.
  8. Taste the curry and adjust the flavors as desired with lime juice, cilantro, or light brown sugar.
  9. Ladle the Thai Yellow Curry into bowls, and top with any remaining crispy roasted chickpeas for added texture.
