Fall Harvest Bowl
Fall is officially upon us! It’s kind of crazy… I moved two hours north and it’s colder and windier here - something I was not expecting, but I am definitely NOT mad about. I live for cozy sweaters and crisp afternoons. That said, I’ve been CRAVING all the fall flavors (as if that wasn’t obvious by all of the recipes I’ve been making lately). I used to order this fall harvest bowl from Lemonade, and I decided to make it at home for lunch today. It is seriously delicious and very hearty. It’s vegetarian, but feel free to add meat if you want, I think rotisserie chicken would be great added to it. It has three separate layers, and I love getting a bit of each layer in every bite. Let’s dive right in!
The fist layer is my delicious Potato and Cauliflower Mash, who remembers this from last year?! It is a creamy blend of cauliflower, potatoes, a little bit of butter, greek yogurt, and some parsley for added flavor. Find the full recipe by clicking here.
The next layer is a delicious sautéed kale. Take one bunch of kale, wash it, remove from stem (I actually like to incorporate some of the stem!), roughly chop it and sauté it over medium heat with 2 tsp. avocado oil and a dash of salt. Let sauté for just a couple minutes until it is slightly wilted. I still like mine to have a bit of a crunch to it!
The last and final layer is the good stuff (okay who am I kidding - I think it’s all delicious)! Chop 1 lb. brussels sprouts and slice a butternut squash into cubes (skin removed). Place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Measure out 1 cup frozen corn and place that on the baking sheet as well. Drizzle the veggies with 1.5 tbsp. avocado oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place in oven preheated to 400° and bake for 30 minutes, taking them out about halfway to mix them up.
Now is the fun part! Take a bowl and layer it up. This dish is so fun because you can mix up what veggies you want to add, and it’s so great reheated for leftovers. I hope this inspires you to get in the kitchen and have some fun exploring new flavors and veggies you might not usually incorporate.
