Sausage- and Pear-Stuffed Acorn Squash

Recipe by Diana71 from allrecipes.com

Dinner 50 Mins.

Ingredients

2

2 servings

  • 1 serving olive oil cooking spray
  • 1 acorn squash, halved and seeded
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • ½ pound sage-flavored ground breakfast sausage
  • ½ onion, diced
  • ½ cup thinly sliced cabbage
  • ½ cup matchstick-cut carrots
  • 1 pear - peeled, cored, and diced

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking pan with aluminum foil and spray with oil.
  • Rub or brush 1/2 tablespoon oil on the flesh of each acorn squash half. Season with salt and pepper. Place squash halves onto the prepared baking pan, cut-side down.
  • Roast in the preheated oven until softened, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, brown sausage in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, cabbage, and carrots. Saute until onion is soft and translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add diced pear and cook until softened but still crunchy, 2 to 3 minutes longer.
  • Remove acorn squash from oven and turn over using tongs. Stuff with sausage-pear mixture. Return to oven and roast for an additional 10 minutes.
