📝 Preparation Steps
1
Place a rimmed baking sheet in oven and preheat to 425°F. Cook rice according to package directions. Remove from heat and fold in cranberries. Cover and let stand ⏱️ 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Meanwhile, cut a small piece from the outside of each squash (this will keep them from tipping over). Rub squash with 1 tablespoon oil and season with salt and pepper. Arrange on baking sheet, hollow sides down. Roast until tender, 25 to ⏱️ 30 minutes.
3
Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 6 to ⏱️ 8 minutes. Add sausage and cook, breaking into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until cooked through and beginning to brown, 6 to ⏱️ 7 minutes. Stir in garlic and thyme. Cook until fragrant, about ⏱️ 1 minute. Remove from heat and fold in parsley. Add rice and stir to combine.
