DealDash Farmer’s Market Weeknight Dinners

The farmer’s market has just started up again in my town, and I am super excited! Who doesn’t love fresh fruits and veggies, straight from the source?

There’s something magical about strolling through the farmer’s market in May. There are bright berries, crisp greens, fresh herbs, and just-picked veggies all calling your name. It’s the perfect time to turn these seasonal goodies into fast, family-friendly dinners. If your weekdays are anything like ours (a little hectic), these ideas will help you get dinner on the table in a snap without sacrificing freshness or flavor. Read on for some yummy suggestions from DealDash.

Farmer’s Market Veggie-Packed Pasta Primavera

This is one of our go-tos when we’ve picked up a rainbow of veggies but need something quick. Grab whatever is in season, think zucchini, cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, asparagus, even peas. Sauté them in olive oil with a little garlic, then toss with cooked pasta and a sprinkle of parmesan or feta. Add a squeeze of lemon for brightness and dinner is done in under 30 minutes!

Family Tip: Let the kids help “design” their own pasta bowls. They love choosing which veggies go in, and that little bit of ownership makes them more likely to eat them!

Farmer’s Market Sheet Pan Sausage & Spring Veggies

This one-pan idea is a dream on busy weeknights. Pick up some fresh chicken or turkey sausage at the market (or use what you’ve got), then toss it on a sheet pan with chopped potatoes, carrots, and green beans – or whatever’s in season. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and roast at 400°F for about 25-30 minutes.

Family Tip: Let little helpers wash the veggies and spread them on the pan. It’s a simple way to include them without the mess.

Hearty Farmer’s Market Frittata

Eggs + veggies = the easiest dinner ever. Grab a dozen farm-fresh eggs and whatever produce catches your eye, consider spinach, mushrooms, onions, or fresh herbs. Whisk the eggs, stir in chopped veggies and a bit of cheese, then bake in a skillet until golden and set. Frittatas are great for using up odds and ends in the fridge, plus they make amazing leftovers for breakfast the next day!
