Have you tried acorn squash? You need to. This healthy stuffed acorn squash is a fall favorite recipe.

Scoot over spaghetti squash, you’ve got competition. This savory healthy stuffed acorn squash sheet pan recipe is amazing! Not only does it smell like a mix between Christmas and Thanksgiving but it’s a beautiful dish. If you’re have a fall or winter gathering this would be a great meal to serve. Your guests will be impressed without you having to take a whole lot of time preparing.

This was my first time cooking this delightful starchy vegetable and I was very impressed with how easy it was! I liked that I didn’t have to put in all the extra effort like I do with other squashes spending time scraping out the insides. Another plus is that it’s a perfect serving size and can be easily split between two people!

Another bonus is, you will end up with extra stuffing which can be used on a salad, in eggs, or mixed in with a vegetable side. The savory spices and sweetness from the crasins. make it an unforgettable meal.
