3
TBSP
melted butter
3
TBSP
maple syrup
½
tsp
cinnamon
1
TBSP
orange zest
¼

Instructions
Preheat oven to 375F.
Cut the acorn squash in half and remove the seeds.
Then cut the acorn squash into half again (so 1/4's, really) and then slice into strips - it will from half circles.
Place on a rimmed baking sheet.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, orange zest, orange juice and pecans.
Drizzle over the acorn squash slices and toss to coat.
Arrange the slices so that they are in an even single layer on the sheet.
Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until fork-tender and starting to turn golden brown, turning halfway through baking time.
