Savory sausage and pear saute stuffed in roasted acorn squash halves.
Ingredients:
  • 1 serving olive oil cooking spray
  • 1 acorn squash, halved and seeded
  • 1 pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 0.5 pound sage-flavored ground breakfast sausage
  • 0.5 onion, diced
  • 0.5 cup thinly sliced cabbage
  • 0.5 cup matchstick-cut carrots
  • 1 pear - peeled, cored, and diced
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Prepare the baking pan by lining it with aluminum foil and spraying it with oil.
  • Coat the flesh of each acorn squash half with a drizzle of oil, season with salt and pepper, and place cut-side down on the baking pan.
  • Roast until tender in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the sausage. Add onion, cabbage, and carrots, and saute until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5 to 7 minutes. Then, add diced pear and cook until softened yet still crunchy, for about 2 to 3 minutes more.
  • Take the roasted acorn squash out of the oven and carefully flip it over using tongs. Fill it with the delicious sausage-pear mixture. Place it back in the oven and roast for another 10 minutes.
