To prepare purses, arrange the squash and bell pepper halves in a single layer on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray; coat the vegetables with cooking spray. Sprinkle evenly with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Bake at 375 ° for 40 minutes or until squash is tender, stirring after 20 minutes. Cool slightly. Thinly slice bell pepper halves, and set aside.
