LOW CALORIE BAKED ACORN SQUASH WITH ORANGE

Acorn squash is naturally low calorie and very healthy. I wanted to make it for lunch but all the recipes I found included butter, margarine, and sugars. Special thanks to Dancer who's recipe I used as the foundation for this one.

Place a rack in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line two rimmed baking sheets with aluminum foil and lightly coat with cooking spray. In a small bowl, stir together the olive oil and maple syrup.
Halve, seed, and slice the squash into 1-inch-thick crescent slices. Arrange the slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Brush the tops with half of the olive oil/maple syrup mixture.
Add the brown sugar and pecans to a food processor fitted with a steel blade and process until the pecans are finely ground. Add the salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper and pulse to combine. Sprinkle half of the brown sugar mixture over the top of the brushed squash slices, reserving the other half.
Place the squash in the oven and roast for 5 minutes, until the brown sugar begins to melt. Remove from the oven and, using tongs, a fork, or very quick fingers, flip over each slice. Brush with the remaining olive oil/maple syrup mixture and sprinkle them with the remaining brown sugar mixture. Return the baking sheets to the oven and continue roasting until the squash slices are fork-tender, about 20 additional minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
