Grilling acorn squash is a delicious and easy way to prepare this fall favorite. Acorn squash has a sweet, nutty flavor that pairs well with a variety of seasonings and ingredients. Plus, grilling adds a smoky and slightly charred flavor that enhances the natural sweetness of the squash.
To grill acorn squash, start by preheating your grill to medium-high heat. Next, slice the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. You can also slice the squash into wedges or rounds if you prefer.
Brush the squash with a little olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and any other herbs or spices you like.
Place the squash on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the squash is tender and has grill marks.
You can also wrap the squash in foil and place it on the grill for a softer, more caramelized texture.
Once the squash is cooked to your liking, remove it from the grill and serve immediately. You can serve the grilled acorn squash as a side dish, or top it with your favorite toppings such as cheese, nuts, or a sprinkle of chili flakes for a more flavorful twist.
Grilled acorn squash is a healthy and tasty addition to any grill-out or fall meal. Give it a try and see how easy and delicious it is to grill this versatile squash.
