Grilled Butternut Squash
Posted in Side Dish & Sauces, Vegetable on August 28, 2010
While Butternut squash will get sweeter in the fall, our CSA had some to offer, so I scooped up a few. I love butternut and the chance to have it a little early was worth it to me! I like to bake it, sautee it and do all kinds of tasty things with butternut, but last weekend, I decided to do the simplest of all– grill it!
The Ingredients
As many butternut squash as you would like to eat
olive oil
Directions
1. Slice off the stem of the squash and then slice it in half. Scoop out the seeds and guts.
2. Drizzle olive oil on the flesh side of the squash and spread it over the entire flesh.
3. Place flesh side down on a pre-heated grill. I use a low heat setting.
4. After 10-15 minutes, flip the squash over.
5. Repeat flipping to prevent burning until squash is tender.
6. Scoop the flesh out and enjoy!
