From clothing to food, fall is layering season. As the weather cools and we turn more and more to gooey baked casseroles and hearty soups and stews, it may not seem like the right time to pick up a new diet. That being said, the wonderful bounty of fall produce makes it possible to eat hearty, plant-based meals that make cutting out meat easier than ever. Some of our favorite classic fall pastas are also some of our best vegetarian pasta recipes—think mushroom tortellini and pappardelle with butternut squash. Whether you're looking for a fun twist on grits with goat cheese or a classic sweet potato casserole, here are our best fall vegetarian recipes for your next meat-free meal.
