Need some suggestions for some fall veggies to add to my diet

Hi just wondering what fall veggies you all usually eat and how you prepare them.  Now the prices of the summer veggies are going up and the quality is going down so I need to make some changes to my shopping list.

Thanks in advance for the suggestions

I don't know what part of the world you're in but where I am it's all about root crops, onions and brassicas right now.... also lovely seasonal treats like fresh chestnuts and cob-nuts.

I think it just screams 'casseroles', 'broths', 'soups' and 'roasts'.  A personal favourite is to get some rolled brisket of beef, brown it all over, sit it on a bed of chunky-cut root veggies, potatoes and onions, add 1/4 pint of beef stock, bayleaves, thyme, black pepper, salt...  pop on a lid and let it sit in a cool oven for hours and hours until everything is tender

For me, kabocha squashes are ideal. You can bake them, nuke them, boil them, put them in soups or stews to make them extra hardy.
Since I'm watching my fat intake, I like to microwave them and add a bit of salt to the flesh after it's done cooking. The creamy texture of the squash is very comforting, plus, winter squashes are packed with vitamin A, minerals, a fiber!
Hope that helps. :D

Gotta love the veggies.  I eat salad all the time, it's so tasty and with a few add ins it makes a meal.  I will have salad with lettuce, carrot, bell pepper, some random greens I don't know the names of, fresh mint, and whatever else I have and add in some beans, an egg, fish, chicken whatever and it's a meal.  I had salad with salmon and garlic tonight, yum!

Also, I'll eat celery and carrot sticks with a bit of salt for a snack and tomato with a little salt too.

Any veggie can be good, it all depends on how you prepare it.  Just be adventurous and try different things, whatever is in season.

I live in the US in North Carolina and squash is something I will add.  I like the flavor, I just never buy them since I don't know how to cook them.

The brisket sounds yummy and like something my husband would eat as well :)

what are brassicas?

I live in Chicago, so maybe we have similar things available??

Brassicas are from the mustard family...cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, raabs, brussell sprouts.  Lots of these are available now and maybe throughout winter for you in NC!

Try roasting cauliflower florets with olive oil, minced garlic, salt and a few tsp. lemon zest (just the yellow part of the lemon)  Add a pinch chili flakes if you like some spice. About 25-30 minutes at 400 should do it. Broccoli is good this way, too!

Another fave...braised cabbage.  I know, it sounds boring, but really it is so satisfying. Saute a thinly sliced onion in olive oil for about 10 minutes (it should be getting pretty brown).  Add a few cloves of minced garlic and cook a few more minutes. Add a can of diced tomatoes and a whole head of cabbage, chopped into big chunks (you don't have to be precise).  Add a TBSP. of vinegar, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and cover and simmer for 1-1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally, until soft.  Serve with grated cheese on top (I like parm or pecorino).

Dark leafy greens are in coming in season where I am (AZ) - I can't stand to eat them sauteed or braised, but I do like chopped kale or collards in soups (add in the last 5 minutes), raw kale salads (slice into thin ribbons, sprinkle with salt, bruise with your hands, then top and dress with your favorite salad stuff), and just about all leafy greens are good baked - toss with a little olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper, spread in a single layer on a cookie sheet, and bake at 325 F for 15-20 minutes until crispy (you might want to stir them around a little halfway to keep them from sticking).
