You already know autumn is my favorite time of year so it is a no-brainer that I also love the bounty of vegetables the season produces. Seasonal eating is not only less expensive, but it also provides the freshest, most tasty foods available.Apples, pears and figs of all types are in season now. Whether you eat them whole or slice and bake them in a pie or other pastry delicacy they are delicious. Apples also are great baked or stewed served with pork. Sliced figs make a beautiful garnish for all types of recipes.
Root vegetables like potatoes, parsnips, carrots and onions are so satisfying roasted together or separately with a little olive oil, salt and pepper and a maple syrup drizzle. Pumpkins and squashes are amazing roasted as a side or pureed into a creamy soup.
Crispy green vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage, brussels sprouts and celery are ideal in salads, as sides dishes or used together as ingredients for soups. Nature's bounty is now at its best....make the most of it!
