Roasted Stuffed Acorn Squash with Sausage, apples, cranberries, onions

Ingredients

  • 2 medium acorn squashes
  • 1 lb sausage (your choice: Italian, turkey, or plant-based)
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 cup apples, peeled and chopped (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work great)
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/2 cup pecans or walnuts, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried sage
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the acorn squashes in half and scoop out the seeds. Place them cut-side down on a baking sheet and roast for about 30 minutes until tender.
  2. While the squash is roasting, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until browned. Drain excess fat if needed. Remove the sausage and set it aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add a splash of olive oil and sauté the onions and garlic until fragrant and softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the apples and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
  5. Stir in the cranberries, chopped nuts, sage, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until well combined.
  6. Once the acorn squash is cooked and cool enough to handle, flip them over and fill each half generously with the sausage and apple mixture.
  7. Drizzle a little more olive oil over the stuffed squashes, and pop them back into the oven. Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes.
  8. When they’re done, take them out and let ’em sit for a few minutes before you dig in. These stuffed acorn squashes are sure to impress your family and friends!

And there you have it! A delightful dish that’s as good for the soul as it is for the taste buds. Perfect for gatherings or a cozy night in. Enjoy every bite!
