Stay Warm & Cozy with These Harvest Bowls

I made a similar roasted veggie bowl last year with sweet potato instead of squash, but since then, I’ve somehow perfected this. Maybe it’s because the sauce is juuuuust right; I mixed a little hummus and tahini, apple cider vinegar and dijon mustard. Besides making the dressing and having the quinoa cooked ahead of time, this bowl is really a one pan meal then. You can roast all the veggies at once, adding kale at the end and then keeping the chickpeas separate is they don’t get soggy. These Roasted Vegetable Harvest Bowls keep you full without feeling overly stuffed and kind of even make you feel like you just indulged at Sweetgreen without leaving your home.

Autumn brings all sorts of fun, unique and seasonal flavor — apple cider, pumpkin and pumpkin spice, different types of squash, roasted vegetables . . . I discovered delicata at the Ithaca Farmer’s Market last fall, and it effortlessly became one of my personal favorites to enjoy. And you leave the skin on so it’s even that much easier to prepare compared to most. If you like butternut squash or sweet potatoes, delicata squash has a similar smooth, creamy and sweet flavor (and can act as a substitute for either in recipes). Delicata squash is sometimes hard to find, but once found, definitely worth the buy.
