Delicious Fall Harvest Bowl Recipe

Loaded with in-season fall veggies like butternut squash, green peppers and purple carrots, this delicious Fall Harvest Bowl recipe is topped off with an herbaceous Indian-inspired Pomegranate Sauce that is the perfect silky dressing to compliment all the fresh flavors happening in this hearty bowl.

 

The pomegranate and herb sauce is a yogurt-based condiment popular in Indian cuisine.  It is simple to make and exploding with flavor!

 

And let me tell you…this delicious Fall Harvest Bowl recipe will nourish your craving for a comfort meal, without all the heaviness.

 

Let’s make the Pomegranate Herb Sauce first…

Combine the fresh mint and cilantro along with a jalapeño and garlic into a bowl and blend with a bit of water until it comes together.

 

Add the herb mixture to the seasoned yogurt and stir to mix well.

 

Top with fresh pomegranate arils and fresh mint leaves.  Chill in the refrigerator while you make the rest of the bowl.

 

Now we are ready to prep the roasted veggies.

Add the cubed butternut squash and green bell pepper strips to a baking sheet and pour the olive oil over.

 

Toss the veggies to coat and roast in the oven for about 30 minutes.

 

Place all the ingredients into the bowl on top of a nice bed of leafy greens.  I used spinach, but feel free to use any in-season greens, like kale or romaine. 

Look at all that fall goodness!  Pears, carrots, radish, and of course we topped it all off with pumpkin seeds!

 

Dig in and enjoy!

 

Here is the recipe for ya!

    Loving this fabulously tasty bowl, the Pomegranate Herb Sauce makes all the difference!
    However, the amount and directions for cooking the chicken are missing from the recipe. Clearly, chicken is meant to be included because it’s in the photo and in the assembly directions. We’ve improvised on the chicken prep, but would love to know what flavor the creators of the recipe intended. Is it possible to correct this error and re-post the recipe? Thank you very much.
