Seasonal vegetable and fruit recipes for fall

As the season transitions from summer to fall, various recipes and nutritional benefits of seasonal produce are highlighted. Roasted vegetable dishes offer savory comfort, including cabbage wedges with a balsamic and Dijon glaze, honey-roasted carrots with rosemary and thyme, and buttery roasted radishes.

Additionally, the combination of apples and winter squash, such as acorn or butternut, provides a nutritious puree. Apples are noted for being a concentrated source of flavonoids, which may offer protection against cancer and heart disease. Winter squash is rich in carotenoids, vitamins A and C, potassium, and fiber, contributing to immune and heart health.
