Stuffed Acorn Squash
Ingredients
- 1 Acorn Squash
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Filling:
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion diced
- 2 stalks celery diced
- 1 teaspoon pink Himalayan salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ¼ teaspoon white pepper
- 1 teaspoon rosemary
- 3 cloves garlic
- ½ pound ground sausage (I like spicy Italian, but pick your favorite ground sausage)
- 1 apple diced
- 1 cup bread crumbs (I use bread crumbs with Italian seasoning)
- ½ cup parmesan shredded
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Take the acorn squash and cut off both ends, then cut in half. Scoop out the seeds and you should have a nice bowl for the stuffing. Lightly cover in olive oil (tablespoon should be enough for both halves) and salt and pepper to taste. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 40 minutes.
- Take a medium sized saute pan and heat. Add olive oil, onion, celery, Himalayan salt, all the peppers and the rosemary and saute for three to five minutes. Next add garlic and mix in. Then add apple and saute for 2 minutes. Next add bread crumbs and parmesan. Mix until well blended and heated through.
- Remove acorn squash from oven, add filling and then sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Bake for another 20 minutes at 400 degrees.
- Serves 2. Double filling recipe for each acorn squash needed.
