Autumn is a favorite time of year for many, and the warm, earthy flavor profiles in fall recipes can still be well enjoyed on a Paleo diet. I’ve rounded up the best of the best Paleo fall recipes so that you can kick off the season with a pumpkin-spiced, apple-cinnamon bang. But don’t be fooled — there are dozens of flavor combinations here that will suit everyone’s palate, including some kid-friendly snacks that even the pickiest eaters will enjoy. Let’s get your fall off to a flavorful start!
Paleo Fall Soups, Stews, and Chili

I get it, sometimes you don’t want to create a sink full of dishes for one meal, especially when you really just want to curl up with a blanket and watch the leaves turn brilliant shades of orange. These casseroles and one-dish meals are your perfect Paleo match. From pot pies to classic casseroles, sheet pan dinners to lasagna (sans cheese, of course), these tried-and-true meals will delight the whole family without destroying your kitchen in the process. And they’re super tasty, too.

Muffins, breads, rolls, or pancakes—there’s a perfect pair for any main dish, soup, or stew that needs a bready companion or any breakfast that needs a show-stopping classic dish.
