Helpful Tips & Tricks:
Master fall meal prep: Fall is the perfect time to cozy up with batch-cooked meals. Double or triple these vegan dinners to have hearty, ready-to-go meals throughout the week. Spend more time enjoying the season and less time cooking!
Stock up for sweater-weather meals: Many of these vegan fall recipes freeze beautifully (be sure to check recipe notes for freezer-friendly details!). Store portions in freezer-safe containers and pull them out for a fuss-free, warming meal when the weather turns chilly.
Keep your leftovers fresh: To maintain peak freshness for up to 3-5 days, store your leftovers in airtight containers. For pasta or grain-based dishes, keep sauces separate until serving to prevent sogginess. This way, your leftovers will taste just as good as the first time.
Reinvent your fall leftovers: Don’t let leftover roasted veggies or grains sit in the fridge—transform them into a whole new meal! Toss them into a wrap, mix them into a salad, or use them to bulk up a cozy fall stir-fry. It’s an easy way to make the most of your delicious fall flavors.
Boost cozy flavors with spices: For that extra fall warmth, start your soups, stews, and casseroles by sautéing garlic and onions in olive oil. Add autumn-inspired spices like sage, nutmeg, cinnamon, or smoked paprika early in the cooking process to give your dishes rich, aromatic layers of flavor.
Roast for fall flavor: Roasting fall veggies like carrots, mixed vegetables, cauliflower, broccolini, and Brussels sprouts caramelizes their natural sugars, bringing out sweet, savory notes perfect for autumn dishes.
Turn pantry staples into fall favorites: Bring out the fall flavors in simple pantry staples by adding warming spices like cumin or rosemary. Top your grains or beans with nutritional yeast for a rich, cheesy flavor that makes every dish feel indulgent and seasonal.
