Ingredients | How To Prepare Acorn Squash For Bearded Dragon

1 ½ cups cubed French bread, crusts removed

¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

¼ teaspoon ground sage

¼ teaspoon sumac powder

¼ teaspoon ground white pepper

¼ teaspoon ground cloves

1 acorn squash, halved and seeded

½ teaspoon olive oil

¾ cup vegetable stock

4 ounces ground sausage

2 tablespoons dried cranberries

2 tablespoons pecans, broken into small pieces

1 teaspoon diced fresh thyme

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread bread cubes on a baking sheet.

Toast bread in the preheated oven, stirring occasionally, 10 to 15 minutes.

Mix cinnamon, sage, sumac, white pepper, and cloves together in a small bowl.

Brush acorn squash halves with olive oil. Sprinkle 3/4 teaspoon of the cinnamon mixture evenly over both halves. Transfer to a baking sheet.

Bake acorn squash in the preheated oven until tender, about 30 minutes. Scrape flesh with a fork to loosen slightly.

Combine toasted bread and vegetable stock in a pot over medium-low heat. Stir bread around to soak up the vegetable stock and warm up, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.

Cook and stir sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until browned, about 5 minutes. Stir into the bread in the bowl. Add remaining cinnamon mixture, cranberries, pecans, and thyme; stir until evenly mixed.

Divide bread mixture between the acorn squash halves.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
