    20+ Healthy and Hearty Fall and Winter Vegetable Recipes

    October 24, 2017 Filed Under: Vegetables

    Fall is the time to start enjoying more vegetables. It is getting colder. You want your meals heartier and more filling to warm you straight up. Soups, casseroles and stews laced with fall time vegetables are perfect for the cold weather. It doesn't hurt that you make these already filling dishes even healthier.

    Below are some of the best fall vegetables that you should include in this year's grocery list and menu. Click on any of the photos for the full recipe.

    Carrots

    Carrots are sometimes referred to as a spring vegetable, though they are often available in the fall as well. They also go great with many of your favorite fall recipes, such as if you are making a soup, stew, adding carrots to your salads, or just enjoying a snack with carrots and ranch or hummus dip. Roasting carrots is another great option, which just requires a little olive oil, your favorite seasonings, and an oven.

    Winter/Autumn Squash

    There are a lot of different types of squashes that are popular in the fall: butternut, acorn, spaghetti, and of course, pumpkin. They are larger, firmer and sweeter than the summer squashes. You can cook and puree them for use in soups, risotto and baked goods. Or roast them them with seasonings varying from cinnamon and cloves to garlic and rosemary.
