Low Calorie Baked Acorn Squash With Orange image

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.

The orange flavor was a bit too overpowering for me. I think I would use less orange zest next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the squash turned out mushy. I think I would cook it for less time next time.
