Testing - Candied Acorn Squash Rings

https://www.popsugar.com/food/Candied-Acorn-Squash-Rings-35936526

I have a taste for squash that has a bit of crunchy crust. I think it's a matter of playing with temperatures and sugar and cooking pan (glass, metal, tole, cast-iron etc?)
It looks like the recipe can be multiplied by the number of squash you want to prepare.

1 acorn squash, insides scooped out and sliced 1/2" thick
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1/4 cup brown sugar
Optional - 1 Tbsp whiskey if not using, use water instead
Salt
Pepper

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
2. Arrange the acorn squash rings in a single layer.
3. Mix together the olive oil, brown sugar, and whiskey in a small bowl. Evenly distribute half the mixture over the squash rings.
4. Bake for 15 minutes, and then flip. Distribute the remaining glaze on the squash, and then bake an additional 15 minutes.
5. Serve while hot.
