“Yummy acorn squash recipe from Weight Watchers. Makes the squash really taste light and creamy. Enjoy! (I used maple syrup instead of brown sugar and omitted the butter.)”

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 30 to 45 minutes.

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.
