40 Easy Fall Dinner Recipes
Tired of cooking the same meals? Here are 40 Easy Fall Dinner Recipes to shake things up! Even better, most of these recipes can be make ahead or even frozen for later. Enjoy these cozy fall dinner recipes.
I cannot believe that it is fall already. In a blink of an eye, summer just up and left and its chilly out. Whenever fall rounds around, I love cooking recipes that satisfy that cozy craving without being super heavy.
While stereotypically, comfort food is carb heavy and meat heavy, you’ll find that these easy fall dinners recipes also fall under low-carb, paleo, keto, gluten-free, and even Whole30 friendly. There’s a recipe here for everyone!
These dinners are simple enough that you can whip them up real quick on a weeknight but many of these fall dinner recipes can double as an entree for when you have guests. For example, the stuffed acorns are so easy to make but look gorgeous and quite fancy! Many of these recipes can also be easily doubled or tripled to feed a crowd.
These healthy fall dinner ideas are going to quickly become family favourites. They’re easy, flavourful, and veggie-packed. I hope you enjoy these fall recipes and if you make one of these recipes, please let me know how you liked it!
Can These Easy Fall Dinner Recipes Be Made Ahead?
Many of these recipes can be made ahead of time and even meal prepped. If you see a recipe you want to make ahead, click through to it and there should be instructions on how to do so. If you don’t see the instructions, feel free to leave a comment and I’ll get back to you!
What Are Some Good Side Dishes To Go With These Easy Fall Dinners?
While these recipes tend to have vegetables alongside them or as a part of the dish, you can never have enough vegetables! Here are a few of my favourite vegetable-packed side dishes: Garlic Parmesan Roasted Brussel Sprouts, Easy Coleslaw Recipe, Zucchini Cauliflower Rice, Broccoli Salad Recipe, and Quick Easy Red Cabbage Salad.
Desserts to Go Alongside Cozy Fall Dinners
Don’t think I’ve forgotten about desserts! Here are some desserts and treats that I enjoy in the fall season: Keto Chocolate Bars Recipe, Healthy Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies, Low-carb Chocolate Muffins Recipe, Paleo Chocolate Chips Almond Flour Banana Bread, Almond Flour Cranberry Muffins, Cranberry Orange Scones, and Almond Flour Pumpkin Muffins.
