November's Bounty: Hearty Squash, Apples & More

November brings a bountiful harvest of fruits and vegetables, with a variety of squashes, apples, and cruciferous vegetables taking centre stage. This month, cooks can enjoy a wide range of seasonal produce for their dishes.

Butternut squash and onions are particularly prominent in November. They are the key ingredients in several seasonal recipes, such as the hearty Harvest Skillet Chicken with Apple, Brussels Sprouts and Sweet Potatoes, and the comforting Butternut Squash Macaroni and Cheese. The versatile butternut squash also features in the Savory Roasted Butternut Squash & Red Pepper Soup and the indulgent Roasted Butternut Squash Four Cheese Lasagna.

Oranges and cranberries are also in season, adding a touch of sweetness to November's produce. They are perfect for baking, with the Dried Cranberry Orange Muffins being a popular choice. Apples, another November staple, can be used in both sweet and savoury dishes, like the Chunky Apple Pumpkin Bread and the Keto Creamy Chicken and Pork Chops With Apple & Pear Chutney.

Other vegetables in season include Brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes, garlic, and kale. These can be used to create a variety of dishes, from the Steamed Cabbage With Smoked Sausage & Red Potatoes to the Sweet Potato and Beet Kale and Quinoa Salad with Avocado, Feta and Pomegranate in a Cilantro Lemon Tahini Dressing.

November's harvest offers a wealth of opportunities for cooks to create delicious, seasonal dishes. From hearty stews to sweet treats, there's something for everyone in this month's produce. So, why not get creative in the kitchen and make the most of November's bounty?
