Savory Stuffed Acorn Squash

A cozy, flavor-packed meal with a touch of island spirit

Earthy, comforting, and layered with fall flavor

In this article, I’m sharing a fall-inspired dish that’s as beautiful as it is comforting: roasted acorn squash filled with a savory-sweet blend of sausage, mushrooms, apples, garlic, and fresh herbs, brought together with a splash of Kōloa Gold Rum for subtle warmth and caramel depth.

Whether you’re cooking for a weekend dinner, entertaining friends, or simply treating yourself to something hearty and seasonal, this recipe checks all the boxes. It’s rich and earthy with just enough brightness to balance. Plus, the built-in squash bowl makes for an unforgettable presentation.
