Vegan Delicata Squash Red Curry! If you’re looking for a healthy, plant-based dinner- this is it! Simmered tofu and squash in a mild red curry sauce. Easily gluten-free.
I still remember the first time I had delicata squash. Two years ago, when I spotted the adorable little things at Trader Joe’s. I picked up two and promptly went home to prepare them the way TJ’s told me to. Slice into rings, remove the seeds and roast with a bit of olive oil until just crispy and tender. Annnnd then I went back and bought 10,000 more. Now, I count down the days until I get to enjoy them on repeat.
Of course, I couldn’t tell you what I did last week, the majority of research for my thesis, or what I got for BL last year for Christmas. But, food? My memory never fails me.
This curry dish is an ode to three of my favorite things: tofu, curry and of course, delicata squash. Thankfully, it’s fairly easy to put together- even for a weeknight dinner.
Once you slice the squash, roast until tender and golden brown. This will help it stay crisp in the curry sauce, without getting mushy. There are some great curry pastes out there, with Thai Kitchen and Maesri being my favorites. Fry in a little bit of oil until fragrant, then whisk in coconut milk, chilis, ginger, roasted squash and cubed tofu. Simmer until thick and the tofu and squash are tender and cooked through. Enjoy as is or over rice.
This vegan and gluten-free meal is so delicious, I have a feeling you’ll be making it over and over again this season. If you can’t find delicata squash (I can always find them at Trader Joe’s this time of year), feel free to sub in peeled and cubed butternut or kabocha squash.

Oh, Alex, you’ve done it again! This looks ahhhh-mazing!
I adore delicata squash too! Love the size and the flavor is like none other (maybe slightly cheesy?!) Great idea adding curry flavors to the mix!
