Sausage And Apple Stuffed Acorn Squash Recipe By Tasty

Step 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).

Step 2

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

Step 3

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

Step 4

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

Step 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.

Step 6

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

Step 7

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

Step 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.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Enjoy!
