Pumpkin Parsnip Curry

Pumpkin Parsnip Curry is a little sweet & spicy dish that is creamy, rich, and perfect for fall! The hearty parsnips pair well with the canned pumpkin, but you may also try this recipe with fresh pumpkin and roasting it in the oven with the root vegetables before sautéeing. If you don’t like coconut milk, try substituting it for a low-fat alternative.
