The Best New Fall Treats From Trader Joe’s

Butternut Squash and Caramelized Onion Tart
Too much dough, not enough butter, mushy squash. If you do buy it (don’t), add chili crisp, chimichurri, or Bomba Sauce to wake it up.

Butternut Squash Lasagna
Absolutely do not microwave this like the box says. If you have the patience and foresight to bake it for 45 minutes, you get a crispy breadcrumb topping, while the savory butternut squash filling is comforting and Thanksgiving-esque. I added red pepper flakes, but a giant turkey might be nice too.

Frozen Moments

Chicken, Cheese, and Green Chile Pupusas
The photo on the package makes it seem like these pupusas have a lot more filling than they do. There’s some mozz in there, a few specks of chicken, and chile who? I ate them with leftover roast chicken and peppers to bulk up the plate. Serve with salsa to bring up the flavor and balance the starchy masa.
