Tuck Into 10 New Comforting Fall Recipes

Trending recipes right now are pistachio-this or Dubai chocolate-that. Let’s stay on the pistachio trend, but swerve over to baklava, that delicious dessert with honey, chopped nuts, butter and flaky pastry. Sweet and nutty, this recipe mimics the flavors of baklava while keeping it as a healthy breakfast option.

Cornbread is already a rustic fall classic, but this recipe pulls it further into autumn flavors with pumpkin puree, maple syrup and brown sugar. Serve this alongside a hearty vegetable soup or chili.

Blood oranges and warm Chinese Five Spice not only complement each other well, but they add refreshing seasonal flavors to boring baked chicken. Pair with rice and greens for a complete dinner.

You might think of hibiscus tea as a summer staple, but this recipe takes it into fall with rosehips, ginger, apple cider vinegar and honey. This mocktail is similar to a traditional shrub and goes down just as easy.

Can we take pecan pie and make it a high energy power snack? With these little bites, yes! Oats, dates and nuts provide fiber and protein while vanilla and cinnamon add that familiar pie flavor.

A ragu sauce is usually very meaty with vegetables for flavor. This recipe uses eggplant and walnut for heft and texture, along with more veggies and a little miso for a pop of umami. Hearty with concentrated flavor, you might not miss the meat.

Bright and crunchy, this salad is still very autumnal with a base of freekeh (a hearty grain), cauliflower, sweet potato and apples. The lemony dressing helps give you that glow from within.

The perfect marriage between a Caesar salad and pepperoni pizza can be found in this dish, which leans more into the cheesy salad territory. In a brilliant addition, this recipe also adds pepperoni on top.

This cake is visually a stunner, with paper-thin pears and chopped hazelnuts nestled into chocolate cake, but the sweet, nutty flavor is pretty great too. It’s so low effort, you could be eating it tonight.

Mix up dinner this week — instead of spaghetti and meatballs, make a spicy and sweet coconut gochujang sauce. It’s not powerfully spicy and will be a crowd pleaser.
