I make curry nearly weekly, and while I can 200% go the authentic route by grinding my own spice blend, I am not at all above using a store-bought curry paste. It just makes dinner easy in a pinch!

Using fresh summer vegetables, I whipped up these red curry zucchini noodle bowls.

Essentially what we have is a big dose of vegetables swaddled in a beautifully flavored red curry coconut milk sauce, which we make using nothing more than coconut milk, red curry paste, and some fresh ginger.

My friends who can tolerate a higher amount of FODMAPs, feel free to toss in a few cloves of garlic!

If you follow a paleo, keto, or low-carb protocol or if you just love a good clean meal from time to time, these bowls may just become a staple in your household!

Depending on the season, you can change up the type of noodle – for instance, this winter, you can go with butternut squash or sweet potato noodles and add in some winter veggies. 10 points for adaptability!

Recipe Adaptations:

  • Add your choice of chickpeas or tofu for plant-based protein.
  • Add shrimp, chicken, or pork for animal protein.
  • Swap the red curry paste for green curry paste, or replace with equal parts yellow curry powder.
  • Incorporate your favorite in-season vegetables.
  • Add 3 cloves minced garlic to the sauce if you can tolerate it!
  • Swap the zucchini noodles for carrot, butternut squash, sweet potato, or turnip noodles

I've been on a thai peanut zoodle kick lately and it's time to switch gears a little and go curry! This is right up my alley with that creamy coconut curry. This will be so good with sweet potato or butternut squash noodles too!
