Fall might just be one of our favorite times to eat — not only do the temperatures finally drop enough to crank up the oven, but it's also harvest season. Summery favorites like tomatoes, zucchini, and crookneck squash are available (and tasty) through mid-October in most of the country, sweet-leaning gourds like butternut squash and pumpkin start popping up, and cold-weather items like broccoli, kale, and cabbage hit their peak. We've rounded up more than 20 cozy one-pot and -pan recipes starring these autumnal ingredients [1], because no one ever said, "yay, dirty dishes!"
