These are my favorite fall dinner recipes—cozy, comforting dishes perfect for the season. You’ll find hearty salads, soups, pastas and more. Make a list and enjoy them all autumn long!
It’s my favorite dinner season.
I know it might seem a little early—there are still cobs of corn and ripe tomatoes in many places—but if you’re like me and enjoy planning dinners ahead, this roundup will help you map out meals for the coming months. I’m even tempted to plan an entire month of fall dinners to make sure everything gets cooked.
I publish this post every year because it sparks so much dinner inspiration. Fall flavors are rich and comforting: roasted squash, brown butter, crisp sage, maple, pumpkin and more. While this is definitely a squash-loving collection, there’s plenty of variety to keep weeknights and weekends interesting.
Within this list you’ll find pasta dishes, sheet-pan dinners, soups, salads and one-pot meals. I already have ideas lined up for the next few months and I can’t wait to try them all in my kitchen. What’s your favorite fall dinner?
