After experimenting for a couple years, and while I am sure it still needs a little tweaking, I have pretty much narrowed it down to this...

Cooking Instructions

1 hour 15 mins

1

Preheat oven to 350.
2

Preheat pan on stove top to medium heat.
3

Slice Acorn Squash in half lengthwise. Remove any remnant of the stem/vine before attempting to cut the squash in half. Protip: You can tap on the back of the knife with a rubber mallet to get it through the squash.
4

Scoop out seeds and strings from the center of the squash.
5

In preheated pan, sear ground sausage until grease appears.
6

Add peppers, onion, mushrooms and apple to sausage, and stir in.
7

Season mix with listed seasonings, and 2 tbsp of maple syrup.
8

Reduce heat to low-high and let simmer until sausage is mostly browned and peppers, onion and apple are tender.
9

While sausage mix is simmering, trim the bottom of the acorn squash just enough so they sit flat. Lightly stab the meat of the squash with a sharp knife, ensuring not to puncture the outer skin.
10

Arrange in a 9x13 baking dish and fill the bottom of the dish with water to 1/2 inch deep.
11

Divide remaing syrup, except for 4 tbsp, into the hollow of the squash halves. Coat the rims of the squash with syrup.
12

Fill the halves with sausage mix, gently packing it in, until mounded over the rims of the squash.
13

Drizzle remaing syrup over sausage mix and squash.
14

Bake in oven for 45-50 minutes, until sausage mix is fully browned and squash is fork tender.
15

Enjoy!

Always looking for new ways to get some squash into my family's diet! 😏👍 I also use these "Nourish Bowls" alot for many different recipes. Spinach dips, soups, squash, & MORE! 👌😎 *Tip- If you use vegan alternative meatballs & cheese, or even just leave those ingredients out,... then this can be a delicious & nutritious vegan meal! 👏🏆 #acornsquash #squashrecipe #veganrecipe #meatballs #bbqmeatballs #bakedbeans #fridgecleanout #leftoversmakeovers

Roasted Acorn Squash with Sausage, Farro, Spinach, and Feta Roasted Acorn Squash with Sausage, Farro, Spinach, and Feta

I’ve had butternut squash, spaghetti squash, pumpkin, and delicata squash, but never acorn squash, until now. I knew it was going to be good but I didn’t expect it to be this amazing! I’m a huge fan now. Just browsing through my Pinterest boards, I saw my opportunity to finally try acorn squash. This recipe was adapted from The Hungry Goddess.I love how easy this recipe is for such a beautiful looking dish. The roasted acorn squash is its own bowl! It’s stuffed with pork sausage, farro, spinach, and topped with feta. I like how you could easily customize this recipe to your liking. For instance, there are a few varieties of pork sausage meat you can get at the market. You can also use any type of goat cheese. Depending on your appetite, choose the size of your acorn squash carefully. When you go to the market, gauge if you’re able to eat half of one. Hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I did! This healthy and hearty recipe is perfect for those chilly nights.
