Grilled Acorn Squash

I refuse to acknowledge that it is getting colder when it comes to using the grill - until there is snow in my way I will probably still be grilling! I made some of my go to BBQ Chicken Thighs and knew I needed a veggie to go with it. I looked through my crisper and found an acorn squash and decided I would give it a try on the grill. I prepared it the same way I do for the oven and the result was a delicious perfectly cooked squash to go with my chicken. I really love the grill marks too and caramelized bits on the squash.




Grilled Acorn Squash: Serves 2-3

1 Acorn Squash - approx 6-8" in Diameter
2tsp Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper

Cut the squash in half through the stem, scoop out the seeds and pulp. Brush the olive oil onto the cut sides of the squash and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Wrap each half with tightly with tin foil. I turned my grill onto high and placed the wrapped squash, cut side down, on the top rack of my grill. I grilled for 45 minutes but you will know they are done and ready when you can easily pierce the skin and squash flesh with a steak knife (like going through butter!).

Remove from the grill, carefully unwrap, take a large spoon and scoop out the squash from the skin, serve and enjoy!

Tip: I really like to top mine with a dollop of sour cream!
