Delicata squash is actually named for its delicate, edible skin, and it's easy to prepare: just cut it open and remove the seeds. This grilled delicata squash recipe uses half-inch slices that grill up quickly, and the lovely caramelization enhances the flavor.

Ingredients

  • 2 large delicata squash
  • 0.33 cups unsalted butter , melted
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 0.5 teaspoons salt
  • 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
  • 0.33 cups maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese , or to taste

Instructions

  1. 1

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

  2. 2

    Wash and dry each squash; place on a cutting board. Slice off stem end and slice each squash in half, lengthwise, using a sharp knife. Remove seeds and membranes with a spoon. Slice across each squash half to create 1/2-inch pieces; transfer to a mixing bowl.

  3. 3

    Stir melted butter, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg together in a small bowl until well combined. Pour over squash pieces; stir to coat.

  4. 4

    Place squash pieces directly on the preheated grill grates and cook until grill marks appear and squash is fork-tender, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Move squash away from flare-ups. Return to the mixing bowl.

  5. 5

    Pour maple syrup over squash pieces and stir to coat. Transfer to serving dish; garnish with feta cheese crumbles, if desired.
