Stuffed Acorn Squash

Stuffed Acorn Squash

Truly a meal in one, this healthy entree is sure to keep you feeling “stuffed.”

Serves: 4 (Serving = 1/2 squash)

Ingredients

  • 2 small to medium acorn squash
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped
  • 1 1/2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt, plus extra
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper, reserve extra
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary leaves
  • 3 cloves of garlic, chopped
  • ½ pound turkey sausage
  • 1 apple, chopped
  • 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs (choose gluten free for GF version)
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400ºF. Using a sharp knife, cut off the very top and bottom of each squash to create a flat base on each side (be careful to not cut through the center cavity). Slice the squash in half, and scrape out seeds to create individual bowls for the stuffing.
  2. Drizzle each squash half with 0.5 tablespoon olive oil and roast cut side up for 40-50 minutes, or until tender enough that a fork can pierce easily.
  3. 烤南瓜时，在大煎锅中用中火加热1汤匙橄榄油。加入洋葱、芹菜、盐、胡椒粉和迷迭香。煮至洋葱开始变软。
  4. Add garlic and sausage and cook until sausage is browned on all sides. Add apple until slightly softened. Mix in breadcrumbs and half of the parmesan cheese just until incorporated. Remove from heat.
  5. Once squash has finished roasting, remove from oven and fill each with prepared stuffing mixture. Return to oven for 20 minutes. Sprinkle parmesan cheese for last 5 minutes.
