Tizeye Posted September 2, 2020 Share #1 Posted September 2, 2020 First time grilling butternut squash. While this was coated in a butter cinnamon mixture, there is a separate pecan glaze that accompanies and baked in the oven, now cooling. I have grilled sliced summer squash and zucchini, but never butternut slices. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airehead Posted September 2, 2020 Share #2 Posted September 2, 2020 How was it. I always under estimate how long it takes. I should probably start it before the meat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tizeye Posted September 2, 2020 Author Share #3 Posted September 2, 2020 Haven't had it yet. Just taking off the grill. Tender by fork. Yes, started the squash 15 minutes before the chicken. Biscuits are now ready....time to eat! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tizeye Posted September 2, 2020 Author Share #5 Posted September 2, 2020 It was interesting. Unfortunately, I did over cook the chicken so it was a little dry. Didn't have the timing synced quite right. In terms of the squash it was easy to slice with a knife quite favorable. Normally would grill with the outter shell, but I had peeled it a couple days ago as I used half for a squash pasta dish and had the remaining half to use up. That is why I looked for other recipes. With the cinnamon/butter coating while cooked and excess drizzled over when served plus the cinnamon and clove in the pecan glaze had very much an autumn flavor. Had a distinct taste like sweet potato. Here is the actual recipe that caught my eye as was looking for ways to fix. https://www.weber.com/US/en/recipes/veggies/butternut-squash/weber-12198.html# 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longjohn ★ Posted September 2, 2020 Share #6 Posted September 2, 2020 I’ve never found a wrong way to cook butternut squash. My wife’s favorite way is boiled and mashed like potatoes. That’s what we are having tonight with a rump roast and mashed potatoes. I have about 25 butternut squash in the garden. It’s good roasted with Brusselsprouts.

MickinMD ★ Posted September 2, 2020 Share #7 Posted September 2, 2020 I love butternut squash though you need a sharp knife and carefulness to cut the hard raw squash. I like to cut it in half, scoop out the seeds and fill the cavities with peas and butter and bake it. similar to these chickpea-filled cavities. That eliminates a lot of cutting: I'm not crazy about pureed butternut squash in soups, so I love the fantastic Martha Stewart Savory Fall Stew that is one of the top things I've ever cooked. It features Italian Sausage (I use mild) and a lot of chopped-into-bitesize-pieces of Butternut Squash along with Carrots, Parsnips, Fennel, Brussels Sprouts and Cippoline Onions (I use sliced sweet onions) and various broths and seasonings.

I initially did that and other than a sharp knife to cut in half...it took me a while to think of it, but a potato peeler does great on the outer shell. Shallow cuts and far safer than a knife.

Ralphie ★ Posted September 3, 2020 Share #10 Posted September 3, 2020 For spaghetti squash I get the big ass knife started and then bang it on the counter. Noisy but effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
