Wash and cut the acorn squash in half. Scoop out all the seeds with a spoon.
Take about 1/2 - 1 tbsp oil for each half and rub it over the squash (optional)
Air fry the squash for 20-25 minutes at 370 °F.
After 20 minutes, mine was pretty much done.
So for last 5 minutes I bumped the heat down to 320 °F so it wouldn’t burn
Prep the veggies
Cut the bell peppers and onion into bite size pieces or smaller. The size is up to you
Make the sauce
Brown the Italian sausage on the stovetop.
Remove from pan. Wipe out the grease.
Saute the bell peppers and onion
Add the meat to the veggies.
Pour in however much marianara sauce you like.
Let simmer and warm while you prep the squash.
Carefully remove from air fryer basket.
Either enjoy the sauce straight on top of the acorn squash.
Or scoop out inside with a fork and serve the sauce on top.
Notes
If you have any leftover sauce, let cool then freeze for spaghtti on a future night.Although after making this I think I would’ve liked ground beef or ground turkey better, so you can do any of these.
