Fall is right around the corner, which means it’s time for cozy flavors, hearty produce, and meals that feel both nourishing and comforting. I always l love leaning into easy bowls, seasonal salads, and recipes that highlight apples, squash, and warm spices… all the things that make fall cooking so fun.

If you’re looking for simple yet delicious meals to bring into your weekly rotation, here are five of my favorite fall recipes that I just keep coming back to…

1. Fall Tahini Bowl

This bowl is packed with roasted veggies, protein, and a creamy tahini dressing that pulls everything together. It’s hearty enough for dinner but also perfect for meal prep since the flavors get even better as they sit. I love mixing and matching whatever fall produce I have on hand (squash, Brussels sprouts, and cauliflower are always a win here).

2. Fall Couscous Salad

A lighter, fresher take on fall flavors, this couscous salad makes a great side dish or a standalone lunch. It’s layered with all the best fall fix-ins for a light but hearty seasonal recipe. It’s the kind of salad that actually gets better the next day, making it a great make-ahead option for busy weeks.

3. Spicy Sausage & Butternut Squash Pasta

Nothing says fall like a cozy pasta dish, and this one hits all the marks. Sweet roasted butternut squash, spicy chicken sausage, and delicious fall spices come together in a dish that feels indulgent but is secretly balanced. It’s also meal-prep friendly, so you can enjoy those fall comfort food vibes all week long.

4. Apple & Turkey Sandwich

A sandwich may not scream “fall,” but when you layer it with apple slices, turkey, and melty cheese, it absolutely becomes one. This is one of my go-to quick lunches because it’s fresh yet filling, and the apple adds the perfect crunch!

5. Fall Harvest Bowl

The ultimate fall meal. I love making harvest bowls because they’re endlessly customizable and always satisfying. My go-to version includes a base of greens, roasted sweet potatoes, chicken, apple slices, goat cheese, walnuts, cranberries, and a maple Dijon dressing. Every bite hits that perfect mix of sweet, savory, and crunchy.
