Prepare for Cold Weather Dishes with These Top Fall Ingredients

Classic Fall Ingredients for Colder Fall Weather

Fall and winter are finally here and there’s nothing better than changing your menu to match the season. Family and friends love to celebrate the holidays by going out to eat and sharing food, drinks, and laughs.

It’s your job as a restaurant owner to help bring the best experience to those moments during the fall and winter months. Below are some fantastic fall ingredients for colder weather that your restaurant patrons will love.

Pumpkin: Pumpkin is a classic flavor that can’t be missed when cooking new courses for your guests. You can use pumpkin spice, puree, seeds, and pie filling to create just about anything.

Kumquats: Kumquats are initially from China, but the Americans have made them into a delicate snack that can satisfy anyone on a hot summer day. Yet as the fall approaches, you can get more creative and use this delicious citrus fruit to make seasonal salads with a touch of fall coloring.

Squash: Winter squash comes in various shapes and sizes and gives chefs at any restaurant a chance to bring out their creative side. You can use spaghetti squash, delicata squash, butternut squash, and several others to create an appetizing fall-weather menu.

Sweet potatoes: Let’s not forget sweet potatoes! Their sweet flavor and orange color make for a perfect offering for a fall menu. Creating main dishes with sweet potatoes instead of regular russet potatoes gives the dish a seasonal vibe and will surely bring a hint of fall harvest.

Apples: Baked apples are one of our favorite ingredients in desserts or main dishes. Apples combined with cinnamon bring the warm comforts of home and the holidays and are a traditional favorite of many.

Asparagus:  We’ve always loved asparagus as a fall vegetable because it brings a touch of class and sophistication to any meal. Whether you pair it with a filet mignon or lay it over a bed of risotto as a garnish, it will surely please your guests.
