Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion and saute until soft and translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add curry paste, Sriracha sauce, ginger, and garlic; saute until fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in sweet potatoes and carrots; season with kosher salt and pepper.
