Sausage and Apple Stuffed Acorn Squash

This dish is the coziest combination of savory and sweet. The sausage and apple stuffing is loaded with flavor and the acorn squash makes a delicious edible vessel.

Instructions

1. 1

   Using a sharp knife cut off the very top and bottom of each squash to create a flat base on each side (being careful not to cut through the center cavity).

2. 2

   Slice the squash in half, scrape out seeds to create individual bowls for the stuffing.

3. 3

   Drizzle each squash half with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

4. 4

   Roast in a preheated oven at 400˚F (200˚C) for 40-50 minutes - or until fork tender.

5. 5

   While squash is roasting - in a large fry pan over medium heat - heat oil and add Onion, Celery, Salt, Pepper, and Rosemary. Cook until onions begin to soften.

6. 6

   Add Garlic and Sausage, until sausage is browned on all sides.

7. 7

   Add Apple until slightly softened. Finally mix in Bread Crumbs and Parmesan cheese just until incorporated. Remove from heat.

8. 8

   Once Squash has finished roasting (when you can easily poke it with a fork) remove from oven and fill each with prepared stuffing mixture.

9. 9

   Return to Oven for 20 minutes - adding a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese to the top for the final 5 minutes.

    Enjoy!
