Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Rinse off your acorn squash.
  3. Cut in half and scoop out the insides.
  4. I want you to cut a bit off the rounded side to make sure the squash bowl doesn’t roll around on you.
  5. Place the cut squash on a cookie sheet, drizzle with half of the olive oil & salt and place into the preheated oven for about 40 mins.
  6. I rotated the baking sheet halfway through.
  7. Heat a large saucepan on medium-high and add the remaining olive oil.
  8. Take out your sausage links, cut them in half lengthwise and then into bite size pieces.
  9. Toss them into the heated pan.
  10. While the sausage is going, chop your veggies.
  11. I sliced my onion into thin rings and separated them when I put them in the pan.
  12. The peppers were cut into larger chunks, about 1/2 -1 inch long pieces.
  13. The garlic got a rough mince.
  14. When the sausage is browned, remove it from the heat onto a plate, place the pan back on the burner and toss in the onions and peppers.
  15. When the onion and peppers start to brown and soften, after about 5 mins, add the garlic, oregano, and salt and allow these to sweat and release flavor.
  16. Let the veggies go about 5 mins more stirring as you go.
  17. Add the sausage back into the mix and turn the burner off.
  18. When the squash is roasted, transfer it to a plate, scrape out a little of the soft insides, about 2 tbsp. or so.
  19. Fill with sausage and peppers and top with almond meal, if you wish!
