Roasted persimmons, pear, with roasted radish and brussels sprouts make a great fall side dish or salad that is both savory and sweet. Serve this with your Thanksgiving dinner instead of plain roasted brussels sprouts. The persimmon, purple daikon, and watermelon radish will make this dish pop with color and flavor. Watch this with your sound on to enjoy the sounds of cooking. Don’t forget to preheat your oven to 450°F before starting prep.

These stuffed honeynut squashes are an addicting dish that makes a perfect vegetarian Thanksgiving dish, or a delicious side dish for any occasion. Roasted grapes, and caramelized onions add layers of sweetness that perfectly compliment the savory mushrooms and lentils. 🔊Watch this with your sound on to enjoy the sounds of cooking. A holiday dinner can be the perfect time to introduce your friends and family to the honeynut squash. Honeynut squashes just started showing up in the farmers markets about 2 years ago and I look forward to their season every year now. Created by Cornell plant breeder, Michael Mazourek, these squash are a lot smaller than a butternut squash and have much more flavor. The skin is thin and edible. Sometimes on lazy days, I’ll cut them in half and roast them in the oven to eat whole, with seeds and all.

This colorful dish is quick and easy to make and fun for kids to help out. You can make watermelon moons using circle cutters! A simple dressing of fresh lemon juice and olive oil makes the sweetness from the watermelon pop. Thinly sliced Japanese cucumber adds a slight natural saltiness that complements the mint and watermelon perfectly.
