A terrific addition to any fall meal. And since each squash half is a serving, it’s easy portion control, too.

Ingredients

* 3 medium acorn squash, cut in half and seeded
* 3 spray(s) cooking spray
* 3/4 cup(s) fresh orange juice
* 2 tbsp ginger root, fresh, minced
* 2 tbsp unsalted butter
* 1 tbsp packed brown sugar
* 1 tbsp orange zest

Instructions

* Preheat oven to 375ºF. Coat a roasting pan or baking dish with cooking spray. Place acorn squash, cut side down, on pan and spray outside of squash with cooking spray. Roast until desired doneness, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

* About 6 or 7 mintues before squash is finished cooking, in a medium oven-safe bowl or pan, combine orange juice, ginger, butter, sugar and zest. Place in oven and cook just until butter and sugar melt; remove from oven and stir. (Or you can heat the dressing on the stovetop over low heat.)

* Serve each squash half like a bowl with dressing poured inside. Yields 1 squash half and about 3 tablespoons of dressing per serving.

Notes

* You can also scoop out and mash the squash with the dressing and serve it like mashed potatoes.
