How to cook Stuffed Acorn Squash in a Sharp Wall Oven
Acorn squash is simple to prepare. Its flesh is thin, and the peel is ribbed, so it’s not squash you should try to peel. Simply cut it in half, remove the seeds, season it, and bake it. Once it’s cooked, it’s creamy and soft and will spoon out of the peel easily. It takes a while to bake, so pre-bake it prior to adding the stuffing, then return it to the oven to quickly heat the two together and allow the stuffing to brown.
I used my Sharp Induction Cooktop for the sausage stuffing, and then Sharp European Convection Wall Oven to bake the squash and cook the stuffed acorn squash.
These two make a stunning combination and make preparing healthy meals a breeze. The appliances have a wide range of features, from smart timers, to pre-programmed cooking settings. The oven can be used for convection baking (which I use when making things like roasted vegetables), or on standard bake settings.

How to Make Sausage and Apple Stuffed Acorn Squash
Step 1: First, cut the acorn squash in half, and remove the seeds with a spoon.
Step 2: Add the squash to a lined baking pan, and spray them with avocado oil, then generously season them with salt and pepper. Bake the squash for 40 minutes, until soft and creamy.
Step 3: In a skillet, add the avocado oil, onion, celery, garlic, and green apple. Saute the mixture over medium heat for about 12 minutes, until the veggies have softened.
Step 4: Add the sausage, and continue to cook the mixture, breaking up the sausage and allowing it to brown. Once the sausage has browned, add the cranberries and chicken stock.
Step 6: Fill each squash half with the sausage mixture. Return the stuffed acorn squash to the oven for an additional 15 minutes, until the stuffing has lightly browned.
