5 Fall Veggie Cooking Tips & Hacks

Make the most of fall vegetables by following these 5 cooking tips and hacks:

1. Get to roasting – One of the best ways to bring out the flavor in your Fall veggies is by roasting them. Roasting vegetables like carrots, beets, and celery root helps to caramelize their natural sugars and intensifies their flavor. Avoid opening your oven door and stirring mid-roast to ensure the best roasted veggies.
2. Pick a seasoning – While fresh Fall produce has plenty of flavor on its own, adding herbs and spices will take your dish up a notch. Add nutmeg or cinnamon to sweet potatoes. Flavor brussels sprouts with parsley and garlic. Or cook your carrots with cumin, sage, or ginger.
3. Bring out the sweet – Add a little sweetness to root vegetables by brushing on a glaze. Natural maple syrup helps to intensify their naturally-sweet flavor. Check out this tutorial on how to make Maple-Glazed Root Vegetables.
4. Store them right – Don’t be afraid to stock up on root vegetables. Fall’s root vegetables store quite well. The key is to store them somewhere dry and cool, such as a pantry or root cellar.
5. Plan your garden – If you prefer to plant your own fall veggies, you’ll want to plan ahead. The best time to plant is 10-12 weeks before the first frost. Check out these tips and tricks for planting your own Fall garden.
