27 Fall Grilling Recipes (for the Best Grilling Season)
You know what's better than standing in front of the grill and sweating? Standing in front of the grill and not sweating. You can do that in fall, and that's why fall is the best grilling season. Yes, the best. Forget summer. You can still hold a beer in front of the coals, after the temperature drops below 70°. You can still slow-cook vegetables, marinate meats, and char breads with yellow, orange, and brown leaves beneath your feet. You just do it with a sweater on. So get those sweet potatoes and legs of lamb ready. Gather your cauliflower and your chops, rubbed in warm spices. The time to grill, as it always is, is now.

A fall recipe you'll want to make again and again, here, you'll tuck sweet potatoes into the used coals of a dying grill to char and soften, then mix their flesh with lemon and tahini for a dip to spread on toasts, eat with veg, or mindlessly sample by the spoonful.

Choose the largest head of cauliflower you can find. When you cut into it, keep in mind that the two center pieces will stay together, but the two end pieces may fall apart into florets and that’s okay—you should still grill those too! This recipe also easily doubles if you want four solid cauliflower steaks.
