Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 3 delicata squash
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 2 tsp kosher salt
- ½ lb mild sausage uncased
- 1 small onion minced
- 1 tbsp fresh sage minced
- 3 cups gruyere cheese grated
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped.
Instructions
- Remove the squash seeds and cut them into ¼ inch thick rings.
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Add the squash to the parchment-lined baking sheets. Coat in olive oil and season with nutmeg, salt, and pepper to taste. Partially cook for just 15 minutes, then remove from the oven and lower the oven temperature to 400°F.
- In a medium-sized skillet, cook the uncased sausage over medium heat, breaking the sausage into small pieces as it cooks. Once the sausage is fully cooked, add the onion and sage. Continue to cook until the onions start to caramelize. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Grab a wide serving platter that is oven-safe. Arrange seven delicata squash rings to form a circle on the serving platter. Fill the delicata ring centers with the sausage mixture and top with approximately ⅓ cup gruyere cheese. Continue to stack and layer the squash, sausage, and gruyere until you run out of squash.
- Bake for 15 minutes and serve warm.
