Why Make a Fall Roasted Veggie Bowl?

With its oven-roasted roots and greens, every bite of this bowl bursts with earthy sweetness and warm spices.

It’s endlessly customizable—swap in your favorite veggies and grains for a new twist each week!

Roasting the Perfect Autumn Vegetables

Start by chopping a colorful array of fall vegetables like butternut squash, sweet potato, carrots, and Brussels sprouts. Toss them with olive oil, a sprinkle of salt, pepper, and a touch of smoked paprika or cinnamon for warmth. Roast in the oven until golden brown and caramelized. The high heat brings out the natural sweetness and creates a delicious crispy texture.

Building a Cozy Autumn Grain Bowl

While the veggies roast, prepare your favorite whole grain: farro, quinoa, brown rice, or barley all work beautifully. Layer the cooked grains in a bowl, top with the roasted vegetables, and finish with add-ons like arugula, pumpkin seeds, dried cranberries, and feta or goat cheese. Drizzle with a simple maple mustard vinaigrette for a sweet, tangy finish.

Serving Suggestions for a Cozy Autumn Meal

Serve your fall roasted veggie bowl with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a poached egg on top for extra protein. It’s the perfect meal for lunches, dinners, or even potlucks (double the batch!). Pair with a warm mug of apple cider or soup for a complete, comforting meal.
