Grilled Delicata Squash

Grilled Delicata Squash

Delicata squash is actually named for its delicate, edible skin. It’s so easy to prepare–just cut open and take out the seeds. Half-inch slices grill up quickly, and the lovely caramelization enhances the flavor.

Ingredients

  • 2 large delicata squash
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese, or to taste

Directions

Step 1
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

Step 2
Wash and dry each squash and place on a cutting board. With a sharp knife, slice off the stem end and slice each squash in half, lengthwise. Using a spoon, remove the seeds and membranes. Slice across each squash half to create 1/2-inch pieces and place in a mixing bowl.

Step 3
Combine melted butter, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a small bowl. Stir to combine, and pour over squash pieces. Stir squash in the butter mixture until coated.

Step 4
Place squash pieces directly on the preheated grill grates and grill 4 to 5 minutes, per side. Move squash away from flare-ups. When grill marks appear and squash is fork-tender, remove from heat and place in a mixing bowl.

Step 5
Pour maple syrup over the squash pieces and stir to coat. Place on a serving dish and garnish with feta cheese crumbles, if desired.

Cook?s Note

I used delicata squash that were about 8 inches long for this recipe.
