Grilled Butternut Squash with Maple-Brown Sugar Glaze
Description
Butternut squash is brushed with a sweet maple and brown sugar glaze before it's wrapped in foil and grilled tender in this quick and easy side dish recipe.
Ingredients
•
1 butternut squash, cubed
•
2 tablespoons butter
•
1/4 cup maple syrup
•
2 tablespoons brown sugar
Directions
1
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
2
Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add squash and boil until almost tender yet still firm, 5 to 8 minutes.
3
Meanwhile, melt butter in a skillet over low heat. Stir in maple syrup and brown sugar and cook until sugar has dissolved, about 5 minutes.
4
Drain semi-cooked squash and place on a large sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil and brush with some of the maple glaze; reserve remaining glaze. Fold up foil to close.
5
Cook on the preheated grill until squash is tender, 10 to 15 minutes, brushing with remaining glaze occasionally and flipping halfway through cooking time.
