You know those projects that are supposed to be quick and easy but turn out to be anything but? Story of my life. It was definitely the case with this guide to September produce. Of course, I picked one of the most abundant months to get started!
I’m excited to get the ball rolling on this new monthly series about seasonal produce. I designed the series for my mom, who hesitates at the farmers’ market when she’s not sure what to do with that beautiful local produce at home. It’s also for Dana, who uses seasonal lists to plan upcoming blog recipes but mentioned that none of them are particularly attractive. It’s for all of you who requested more seasonal recipes and resources when I asked how to make this website work better for you.
Naturally, produce peaks at different times in different areas of the U.S., so this is a general guide to the produce you’ll likely find at farmers’ markets around this time of year. You’ll find some short preparation tips for each type of produce, plus recipe lists for each (which include other bloggers’ recipes as well as my own).
I owe a BIG thank you to Becky at The Vintage Mixer, for letting me base this resource on her “Eat Seasonal” monthly seasonal produce lists. Check out her September post for a cute, illustrated list that you can download to use as a desktop background or screensaver (it’s free!). Tag your seasonal produce and recipe pics #eatseasonal on Instagram so we can go check them out!
So, ta da! I hope you like this new series. I am, of course, open to suggestions for improvement, and if you like it, you can look forward to seasonal posts published around the first of every month!
Apples
You know fall is coming because apples are here. I love crisp, chopped apples in salads with blue cheese and apple slices dipped into peanut or almond butter. Conventionally grown apples are exposed to lots of pesticides and then coated with wax, so organic apples are definitely worth the extra expense. Apples elsewhere:
- Apple Pancake by Love and Lemons
- Apple Spice Sorbet by My New Roots
- Chopped Salad with Quinoa, Sweet Potato and Apples by Sprouted Kitchen
- Gummy Bear Sangria by My Name is Yeh
blackberries
Plump, juicy, sweet blackberries are a snack in themselves. They’re also lovely in baked goods and make a simple dessert when served with whipped cream. As a general rule, buy organic berries (they soak up pesticides). Blackberries elsewhere:
- Blackberry Almond Skillet Cake by Turntable Kitchen
- Blackberry Crisp Ice Cream by Naturally Ella
- Blackberry Mango Fruit Leather by A House in the Hills
- Two-Bite Blackberry Jam Bites by Oh, Ladycakes
broccoli
As it turns out, broccoli is totally irresistible once roasted with olive oil and sea salt. Like all brassicas, broccoli goes great with garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes and other bold flavors. Select small, tightly packed florets with minimal brown spots. Broccoli elsewhere:
- Asian Quinoa Broccoli Slaw by Mountain Mama Cooks
- Ginger Broccoli with Forbidden Rice by A House in the Hills
- Roasted Broccoli Grilled Cheese by Two Peas and Their Pod
- Simple, Salty, Sweet + Nutty Broccoli Soba by The First Mess

cabbage
I can’t get enough cabbage! Cousin to broccoli, this potent anti-cancerous cruciferous vegetable is great raw, in slaws, roasted in pieces, or chopped and sautéed with olive oil and garlic. Select cabbages with compact heads that feel heavy for the their size. Cabbage generally keeps for a pretty long time in the vegetable crisper, so it’s a good ingredient to keep on hand. Cabbage elsewhere:
- Kale and Cabbage Coleslaw with Marcona Almonds by Foodie Crush
- Pasilla Chile and Lime Cabbage Slaw by Sprouted Kitchen
- Sesame-Crusted Avocado and Cabbage Spring Rolls by Naturally Ella
- Sweet Potato and Black Bean Tacos with Cilantro Cabbage Slaw by Mountain Mama Cooks

carrots
Watery baby carrots have been tarnishing grown-up carrots’ reputation for years. I love to turn full-sized raw carrots into “noodles” with my julienne peeler or “ribbons” with a regular peeler. Carrots are also fantastic when well roasted—leave them in the oven until they are deeply caramelized and golden. Carrots elsewhere:
- Carrot Cake Baked Doughnuts by The Fauxmartha
- Carrot Green Chimichurri by Love and Lemons
- Carrot Soup Recipe with Roasted Chickpeas by Vintage Mixer
- Quick Pickled Carrot Spears by Simple Bites
View more C+K carrot recipes ↣
cauliflower
Cauliflower: Trendy since 2012, good for you since forever! Roasting cauliflower with olive oil and sea salt transforms the cruciferous vegetable from bland to French fry irresistible. You can also pulse raw cauliflower in the food processor to give it a rice- or couscous-like texture. I was skeptical about cauliflower crust pizza, but it can actually be pretty good! Cauliflower elsewhere:
- Cauliflower and Roasted Garbanzo “Rice and Peas” by The First Mess
- Raw Cauliflower “Couscous” Greek Salad by Vintage Mixer
- Roasted Cauliflower and Chickpea Tacos by Two Peas and Their Pod
- Shaved Cauliflower Salad by Happyolks
View more C+K cauliflower recipes ↣
corn
Sweet corn can be grilled, roasted or eaten raw. Raw corn marinated in sour lime juice is especially delicious, as is slightly charred corn that has been grilled in the husk. To avoid genetically modified corn, buy organic. Corn elsewhere:
- Corn and Goat Cheese Pizza by Sprouted Kitchen
- Green Rice Salad with Nectarines and Corn by Not Without Salt
- Pickled Corn Succotash Salad by Dolly and Oatmeal
- Grilled Corn and Pasilla Pepper Salad by Foodie Crush
cucumbers
Crisp cucumber is a lovely addition to raw salads. Its vitamin-rich, hydrating qualities make it an excellent juicing ingredient. Peeled, muddled and strained cucumber makes an incredibly refreshing cocktail. Cucumber water is a treat—just soak cucumber and lemon slices in a pitcher of water. Cucumber elsewhere:
- Chili Lime Cucumber Noodles on Salted Watermelon by The First Mess
- Dill Cucumber Salad by Foodie Crush
- Grandma’s Cucumber Salad by Lauren’s Latest
- Ottolenghi’s Green Gazpacho by Yummy Supper
View more C+K cucumber recipes ↣
eggplant
Eggplant can be hard to love at times. I like cubed, roasted eggplant in pasta, and creamy baba ghanoush, which is similar to hummus, with pita bread. Eggplant pairs especially well with garlic, lemon, parsley, basil, onions and bell peppers. Eggplant elsewhere:
- Grilled Eggplant Parmesan Nachos by Climbing Grier Mountain
- Grilled Eggplant Rolls With Cream Cheese And Herbed Millet by Naturally Ella
- Quinoa Crusted Eggplant Parmigiana by Kitchen Confidante
- Spiced Eggplant and Cucumber Salad by A Couple Cooks
fennel
Licorice-flavored fennel can be an acquired taste, but I can’t get enough of the crisp texture and delicate flavor. I like to shave raw fennel super fine for salads and slaws, which is made easier with a mandoline. Fennel elsewhere:
- Fennel And Apple Salad With Toasted Fennel Vinaigrette by Not Without Salt
- Grilled Fennel and Quinoa Salad by The First Mess
- Pasta With Fennel, Arugula and Lemon by Sprouted Kitchen
- Spanish Carrots with Fennel, Toasted Hazelnuts and Slide Ridge Honey Wine Vinegar by Vintage Mixer
grapes
I love grapes, but I don’t have any recipes that call for them! I recently discovered the magic that is roasted grapes. Roasted grapes are sweet, jammy and delicious on goat cheese crostini. Grapes elsewhere:
- Chocolate Covered Grapes by My Name is Yeh
- Grape, Avocado and Arugula Salad by Gimme Some Oven
- Grape Salsa on Goat Cheese Crostini by Sprouted Kitchen
- Pickled Grapes by Not Without Salt
green beans
Green beans are easily overlooked. They go great with almonds, basil, butter, Parmesan, olive oil, onions, parsley, potatoes, shallots, tomatoes and vinegar. I’m afraid I only have one green bean recipe (click on the above photo for a summery quinoa, feta, and green bean salad). Green beans elsewhere:
- Crunchy Bean, Quinoa and Carrot Salad by Green Kitchen Stories
- Green Bean and Toasted Almond Salad by A House in the Hills
- How To Build A Grilled Green Bean Salad With Ingredients You Already Have by Simple Bites
- Roasted Garlic Green Beans with Lemon and Parmesan by Edible Perspective
kale
I’m obsessed with kale. You’re obsessed with kale. We all love kale, and for good reason! It’s tremendously good for you and totally delicious, given the right preparation. Chop kale for stir-fries or a side of greens (sauté in olive oil and garlic), or massage it with a dash of salt for salads (see any of my kale salads for further instruction), or lightly coat roughly chopped kale with olive oil and roast it for kale chips. You can also blend kale into smoothies or juice it. Kale elsewhere:
- Kale, Spinach and Pear Smoothies by Joy the Baker
- Kale Caesar Salad with Crispy Garbanzo Bean Croutons by Mountain Mama Cooks
- Kale with Japanese Sesame Dressing by Yummy Supper
- Mushroom and Kale Grilled Cheese by Foodie Crush
melons
Hydrating summer melons are a treat in themselves. Get your fill of watermelon, cantaloupe and honeydew while you still can. Try throwing big slices of melon onto the grill for more savory applications. Melons elsewhere:
- Cantaloupe Lime Popsicles by Kitchen Confidante
- Fig And Melon Salad With Creamy Lemon Vinaigrette by Not Without Salt
- Jalapeño Watermelon Margaritas by Gimme Some Oven
- Salted Cantaloupe Honey Sorbet by Simple Bites

peaches
Fresh, local peaches are the epitome of summer. Feel free to eat them whole over the sink. You can grill pitted and halved peaches for salad or dessert, or bake chopped peaches in any number of fruity, juicy desserts. Peaches elsewhere:
- Grilled Stone Fruit and Almond Mascarpone Dip by Desserts for Two
- Grace’s Spicy Peach Jam by Love and Lemons
- Grilled Halloumi and Peaches with Dukkah by My New Roots
- Grilled Portobello and Peach Burgers by Green Kitchen Stories
pears
Pears can be finicky. They’re generally more grainy than their cousins, the apples, and ripeness is fleeting. They are delicious, however. Pears play nicely with blue cheese and balsamic vinegar in sweet-and-savory salads. In desserts, they’re lovely with warming spices, cream, honey and lemon. Pears elsewhere:
- Easy Honey-Sweetened Pear Butter by Gimme Some Oven
- Grilled Pears with Cinnamon Drizzle by A House in the Hills
- Sautéed Pear and Plum Salad by The Year in Food
- Whole Wheat Pancakes with Pears by The Vanilla Bean Blog
peppers
Peppers! Spicing up dinner in the New World for as long as we can remember. September is prime time for rich, vibrant peppers. Look for bell peppers, jalapeños, poblanos and more. Peppers elsewhere:
- Blistered Shishito Peppers by Spoon Fork Bacon
- Lentil Stuffed Peppers by Kitchen Confidante
- Panzanella with Cherry Tomatoes and Bell Peppers by A Couple Cooks
- Red Pepper Pasta with Mushrooms and Spinach by What’s Gaby Cooking
View more C+K bell pepper recipes ↣
potatoes
Who doesn’t love a crispy potato? Roasting cubes of potatoes brings out way more flavor than boiling them. Varieties outside of the standard Russet (especially the more colorful potatoes) tend to offer more nutritional value. Buy organic! Potatoes elsewhere:
- Crispy Baked Garlic Matchstick Fries by Minimalist Baker
- Game Day Potato Skins by What’s Gaby Cooking
- Potato Breakfast Gratin with Red Peppers & Parmesan by The Kitchn
- Roasted Potato and Paprika Chickpea Salad by A House in the Hills
View more C+K potato recipes ↣
pumpkins
Shhh, don’t tell, but pumpkins actually aren’t all that flavorful by themselves. The pumpkin craze that strikes every fall is really just a collective craving for creamy texture and warming spices. It’s a pretty irresistible combination, for sure. Roast fresh pumpkin for savory dishes or toss it into the food processor to make homemade pumpkin purée. (The moisture content in homemade pumpkin purées can vary significantly, which is why most bakers opt for canned.) Pumpkins elsewhere:
- Homemade Pumpkin Pasta by Minimalist Baker
- Mini Pumpkin Empanadas with Vegan Spelt Crust by What’s Cooking, Good Looking
- Pumpkin and Coconut Muffins by Green Kitchen Stories
- Roasted Pumpkin and Goat Cheese Frittata with Arugula Salad by Naturally Ella
View more C+K pumpkin recipes ↣
radishes
How I love radishes! Raw, chopped radishes lend a spicy crunch to salads and makes a great garnish for fresh Mexican meals. I often prefer radishes to raw red onion, which can easily overwhelm other raw ingredients. Whole, raw, spicy radishes served with butter and flaky salt are an incredibly simple and delicious appetizer. I also love pickled radishes, but the verdict is still out on roasted radishes. Radishes elsewhere:
- Breakfast Tacos with Avocado Radish Salsa by The Year in Food
- Charred Corn Tacos With Zucchini-Radish Slaw by Smitten Kitchen
- Radish and Egg Salad Sandwiches by A Couple Cooks
- Super Simple Radish Salad with Crème Fraiche by Yummy Supper
View more C+K radish recipes ↣
raspberries
Good raspberries are transcendent. They can be hard to come by because they don’t keep as long as other berries. Ripe raspberries are sweet, tender but not mushy, and pretty much perfect as is. They go great with cream, lemon, vanilla, almonds, honey and other berries. Raspberries elsewhere:
- Double Chocolate Raspberry Brownies by Oh, Ladycakes
- Quick and Easy Raspberry Fool by Foodie Crush
- Raspberry Chia Jam by A House in the Hills
- Raspberry Ripple Buckwheat Porridge by My New Roots
View more C+K raspberry recipes ↣
squash
Summer squash and winter squash collide in farmers’ markets this time of year. Summer squash varieties (like zucchini and yellow squash) have a thin skin that doesn’t require peeling. Most winter squash (like butternut and kabocha, but not delicata) have thick skins that usually need to be removed. Squash elsewhere:
- Summer Squash Pasta with Green Goddess Dressing by Sprouted Kitchen
- Vegan Zucchini and Yellow Squash Gratin by Minimalist Baker
- Zucchini Bread Pancakes by Smitten Kitchen
- Zucchini Summer Skillet with Poached Eggs and Garlic Brown Butter Baguettes by How Sweet Eats
View more C+K summer squash recipes ↣
tomatoes
Tomatoes are in full swing right now. Ripe tomatoes don’t need much help when it comes to preparation—a sprinkle of sea salt and a drizzle of olive oil is about all you need. Raw and roasted tomatoes are also amazing with garlic and basil. I’m pretty obsessed with burst cherry tomatoes—whether roasted or cooked in a pan on the stovetop—they never let me down. Tomatoes elsewhere:
- Chopped Tahini Salad with Crushed Pine Nuts and Mint by Dolly and Oatmeal
- Heirloom Tomato Salad Recipe by 101 Cookbooks
- Pesto and Roasted Tomato Omelet by Edible Perspective
- Roasted Cherry Tomato Bowls by Love and Lemons
- Super Powered Tomato and Basil Collard Wraps by The First Mess

Oh my goodness I have not been so taken back by the beauty of veggies in a while. The compilation of these posts and the gorgeous pictures you chose are stunning!

Thanks for sharing, this was great! I can’t wait to see next months!
Kate
Thank you, Sam! Hope this post is a helpful reference for you! You really do need to try pickled radishes!!!

maria
Thanks for the guide! Think pickles! Such a great time of year to capture the seasonal bounty in brine!
Kate
I love pickles! I’m going to look for good pickling materials when I go to the farmers’ market this weekend.
Maria
Would you take a quick peek at my latest blog post on Zucchini Refrigerator Pickles? I would love your comments as I am just getting started….farmer turned blogger! Thanks so much!
Kate
Your pickles look fantastic! Really lovely photos. Wish I had a jar to snack from right now.
Liz @ Floating Kitchen
This is a great idea, Kate! And I love The Vintage Mixer’s seasonal eats post as well. With both of those in mind, everyone will be ready to hit the farmers markets in style!
kristin @ W [H] A T C H
no wonder this post took so long — good heavens! i am on a real radish kick recently. so many yummy fruits and veggies in season right now!
Natalie @ Paper & Birch
Wow, what a list! I’m like your mom, I go to the farmers market weekly and get the standards (meat, bread, salad greens) because I never know what to do with a lot of the vegetables!
Kate
Sounds like you’re stocking up on quality basics! If you feel like branching out, this post will be waiting for you when you get home! :)
dana
BRILLIANT! And much needed for people like me who are always googling “what’s in season?” Thanks for sharing our recipes! You’re too kind.
Kate
Thanks, Dana! Hope this new series comes in handy someday. xo.
Trisha
What a great series! I’m loving the seasonal inspiration! I’ve been lacking cooking inspiration lately, so this is a fantastic place to start.
Abby @ The Frosted Vegan
Yay!! this is so perfect! I’m always pumped about seasonal veggies, then have no idea what to do with them!
Minna
Kate, this is an amazing index of inspiration! Random but delicious grape idea from when I was a kid- pretzels! Combo of sweet and salty goodness.
Also have red and green cabbage in my crisper right now and this makes me excited to use it :)
Kate
Pretzels and grapes! I never thought of that. I have a little leftover bag of airplane pretzels somewhere around here. Now I just need to find some grapes to go with them!
Heidi @foodiecrush
Amazing collection of recipes, and wow! A ton of work to pull them together. Love the formatting and reference to your own recipes too. Super resourceful and even more reason to #eatseasonal. Great job Kathryn!
Kate
Thanks, Heidi! I learned that roundups are a lot of work, that’s for sure. Hope your wrist is feeling better!
Charly
Love this new series Kate! Keep up the great words :)
Kate
Thank you, Charly!
Brittany
Whoa momma. You covered a lot of ground with this post, lady. I love fall produce so I’m really excited for everything that will be in season this month.
I’m about to pin all the pumpkin recipes you linked it.
Kate
I definitely didn’t know what I was getting myself into here. :) It seems so early for pumpkin, but I’ll take it!
Hannah @ CleanEatingVeggieGirl
I pretty much love ALL of these, but I am most excited about apples, pumpkin, and squash!!
The Peace Patch
Fabulous idea for a post! I always look forward to pears at this time of year, especially Comice and Bosc. And I’m still munching on fresh peaches…so yumful! Cheers! :)
Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat
Kate, this is beautiful! You’ve totally outdone yourself and I am so excited to make some of these. Veggies are by far the largest component of my diet and I love experimenting with seasonal produce to create new dishes. Farmer’s market, here I come!
Kate
Thank you very much, sweet Angela!
Eileen
What a great idea! I love how thorough and detailed this is — you did such a good job! Apples and cabbage are definitely starting to happen at our house, but the tomatoes, corn, and green beans are still going strong… :)

Kate
Thanks again, Ali. P.s. I’m glad we’re friends!
jenna @ just j.faye
This is awesome! I’m going to reference this before all my September grocery shopping trips. Thanks!
Batya
Kate! I love this post! (Can’t you tell, I’m using exclamation marks!) Of course this year I actually know what’s in season because I have a garden (finally!) so it’s easy to tell…but I also go to our local markets. Today we went to the Cherry Creek farmers market in Denver and picked up beets, arugula, peaches, corn, squash, tomatoes, and an awesome sugar scrub with espresso in it. Anyway, I’ve turned the beets into a dip (with yogurt and za’atar), the arugula/peaches/corn are all going into a salad with blue cheese, the squash was used in a soup (with Thai Red Curry and Coconut Milk), and the heirloom tomatoes were served caprese. I have a bumper crop of kale from my garden and I decided to make your Kale-Pesto recipe. My fridge is stocked! Cooking with the seasons is the best way to go and the flavors can’t be beat. Looking forward to pulling inspiration from this post for the next few weeks! Thanks!
Kate
Batya, I’m impressed! Your seasonal creations sound so fantastic. Hope you enjoy a few of the recipes shared here!
Catherine
This is epic.
Kate
Thanks, Catherine! :)
Emily van Kampen
That is an impressive list of products! I like how you added all the background information and recipes for each product, very usefull. Thank you!
Helen @ Scrummy Lane
I can see how this probably took you ages to do, but it’s really helpful! So many wonderful recipes. I especially like the look of the soba noodle ones. You’re recipes are usually so colourful, and I love that!
Lindsey
what a crucial list, kate! I am super smiley thinking of what a resource this will be for peeps in need of some guidance and inspiration (i can’t wait to use it myself!). a totally awesome compilation! : )
(and thanks for including some of my links!)
Kate
Thank you, Lindsey! Glad to share your lovely recipes.
Ashlee
AMAZING concept! Even though I’m in the southern hemisphere, I’m going to use this as a hub for amazing seasonal recipes! Thanks!
Tessa | Salted Plains
Such a great idea! I can totally identify with your mom – I’m always excited to go to the farmer’s market and then totally overwhelmed on what to purchase! Also, drinks soon? :)
Kate
Yes! Drinks soon! Just say when.
Allison
What a fantastic guide! This must have been quite the undertaking!!! I truly appreciate the green beans info and recipe ideas, as I never know what to do with them. I’m convinced this is why I don’t really love them like I love other veggies. All of this September produce gets me a little excited! I wish I had more room and time to fit in all of these yummy recipes before the month is over :)
Kate
Thank you, Allison!
Kate
What a lovely list! Sept is one of the best produce months, in my opinion :) Looking forward to seeing more of this series, especially in the winter when veggies are harder to purchase. Thank you for sharing!
Kate
Thanks, Kate! I’m looking forward to the winter posts, too, because they will be shorter! ;)
Amy @ Parsley In My Teeth
What a great idea for a monthly column. It’s a great way to encourage people to eat fresh/eat local, as well as share recipes from these other amazing blogs. Looking forward to the next edition!
Allison
This is amazing!! Thank you so much for taking the time to put it together! What a great resource, I’m always looking to eat seasonally but its hard to look at a what’s in season cheat sheet while trying to filter through all my recipes. I love that it’s all in one place! :)
Kate
Yay, thank you, Allison! I’ve been getting such great feedback that I will definitely continue this series for at least a full year. Cheers to eating seasonally!
Kelly
What a great resource, thank you!
thefolia
This pretty much covers my next dishes in my nest for the season. Thank you they all look so amazing!
Alice
Ohh, I love this post! I’m kind of used to cooking with seasonal produce because that is how my mom always did it, as buying whatever was in season was cheaper. But having a list like this one reminds of anything I might overlook and is definitely inspiring. :)
-Alice
Kathleen
Echoing the thanks- this is a fantastic idea for a monthly series. For the first time this year I’m freezing and canning a lot of things for winter, and it’s such a pleasure to plan with easy, attractive references like this!
Kate
Thank you, Kathleen! I’m glad you appreciate the list. Sounds like you will be much more prepared for the winter than me!

Nicole @ Young, Broke and Hungry
I had no idea September was such a great time for produce. I’m excited to pick up some radishes to pickle and make the most of this month as I can before winter sets in.
Kate
I think it might be the best month of the year for fresh produce! Hope you love the pickled radishes.
Valerie Bennett
Great info. Looking for fall veggie ideas for a large open house, appetizers and table display. Do you have any ideas? Val
