Simple Roasted September Harvest Bowl
A cozy, nourishing bowl filled with the very best produce September has to offer.
recipesbynani.comSeptember is such a special time in the kitchen because you get the best of both worlds. We are still holding onto those sweet late summer tomatoes, but we are also welcoming the crisp apples and hearty greens that signal the start of fall.
This simple harvest bowl is one of my favorite ways to celebrate the season. It is easy to customize based on what you find at your local farmers market or grocery store. Don't be afraid to mix in whatever fresh produce looks best to you that day.
