47 Recipes to Make This Fall
We made the very most of peak summer produce, and now it’s time for something a little heartier. Butternut squash, sweet potatoes, mushrooms, figs, apples and pears are starting to fill the markets—because, yes, fall is the season to indulge in abundant fruits and vegetables alongside our favorite meaty braises. As we prepare for cooler temperatures and shorter days, we’re craving comfort food, like warmly spiced breakfasts, roasted salads, steaming bowls of soup and crocks of chili.
We’re taking the time to embrace a new nourishing ritual for extra-crisp mornings—this 10-Minute Bone Broth Soup is fortifying and filling any time of day. Then we’re dusting off our Dutch ovens to spend a weekend afternoon making Dark and Stormy–Braised Pot Roast while slicing off slivers of the Caramel Apple Snacking Cake eyeing us from the counter. And we can’t wait for candlelit dinners featuring a towering Radicchio Salad With Blue Cheese Dressing and saucy skillet of Mushrooms au Poivre.
What’s on your wish list? Autumn only lasts so long, so peruse the windswept harvest-inspired collection below; save the ones that are calling your name; and try to make as many as you can before the first snow falls. And don't forget to tag us on social @bonappetitmag when you hit the table.

This salad puts all the best textures on a spoon: crisp, raw broccoli; chewy, sticky dates; and crunchy toasted pistachios. The ras-el-hanout, a Moroccan spice blend featuring aromatic and warm spices, adds a smoky depth to the bright citrusy dressing, which soaks into the broccoli as it sits. Don’t have ras-el-hanout? Garam masala, baharat, or curry powder will also work. And if you’re a meal prepper, this is a great make-ahead salad—it only gets better with a little time.

This make-ahead casserole is one of those cozy fall recipes that works for breakfast, lunch, or dinner and is just as comfortable at a lazy Sunday family brunch as it is on the Thanksgiving table. Basically, you can take her anywhere.

Four cheeses may seem excessive, but we’re telling you, they’re all important. Gruyère gives the sauce a nutty richness, sharp cheddar brings tang, Fontina ensures lush creaminess, and Parmesan adds a salty, savory hit to the crispy panko topping.

Even with shortcuts such as a store-bought rotisserie chicken and frozen puff pastry, a classic chicken pot pie isn’t exactly doable for busy weeknight dinners. That’s where this deconstructed version comes into play. (In more of a buttermilk biscuit mood? Try our favorite chicken and dumplings.)
