Best Grilled Butternut Squash With Maple Brown Sugar Glaze Recipes

GRILLED BUTTERNUT SQUASH

• Brush both sides butternut squash with olive oil.
• Cook on the pre-heated grill, flipping as needed, until softened and browned, 15 to 20 minutes.

CARAMELIZED BUTTERNUT SQUASH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Cut off and discard the ends of each butternut squash. Peel the squash, cut them in half lengthwise, and remove the seeds. Cut the squash into 1 1/4 to 1 1/2-inch cubes and place them on a baking sheet. Add the melted butter, brown sugar, salt, and pepper. With clean hands, toss all the ingredients together and spread in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast for 45 to 55 minutes, until the squash is tender and the glaze begins to caramelize. While roasting, turn the squash a few times with a spatula, to be sure it browns evenly. Taste for seasonings and serve hot.

ORANGE AND MAPLE ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Toss the squash with the oil and a generous pinch each of salt and pepper in a large bowl. Tile the squash slices in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, overlapping the pieces. Stir the maple syrup, orange zest and juice together in a small bowl and pour over the squash.
• Cover with foil and bake 30 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until the squash is tender and the top begins to brown, 30 to 40 minutes more. Scatter the parsley over the top.

MAPLE GLAZED BUTTERNUT SQUASH

Steps:

• Combine butternut squash, water, maple syrup, rum, and nutmeg in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until squash is tender, about 15 minutes.
• Remove butternut squash from saucepan using a slotted spoon and transfer to a serving dish, reserving liquid in the saucepan. Continue simmering liquid until reduced and thickened, 5 to 10 minutes; pour over butternut squash.

GRILLED BUTTERNUT SQUASH WITH MAPLE-LIME GLAZE

Steps:

• Combine the butter, maple syrup, lime juice, cinnamon, and salt and pepper to taste and mix well. (Use immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week).
• Prepare a medium-low fire in the grill.
• Peel the squash, cut in half horizontally, remove the fibers and seeds, and slice about 1/2 inch thick.
• Steam the squash over boiling water until the flesh is just tender, about 10 minutes. Brush the marinade onto the warm squash.
• Grill until grill-marked on the bottom side, about 5 minutes. Check frequently; squash will char easily. If there are hot spots, you may want to rotate the positions of the pieces. Brush with the glaze, turn each slice, and grill until tender throughout and grill-marked on both sides. Remove from the grill, and brush on any remaining glaze. Serve hot.

GRILLED MAPLE- AND PECAN-TOPPED BUTTERNUT SQUASH

Steps:

• Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat. Cut four 18x12-inch pieces of heavy-duty foil. Cut each squash lengthwise in half; remove seeds. Place squash half, cut side up, on each piece of foil. Sprinkle with salt.
• In small bowl, mix butter, orange peel and 2 tablespoons of the maple syrup. Brush over squash halves. Fold foil over squash so edges meet. Seal edges, making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again. Allow space on sides for circulation and expansion.
• Cover and grill packets over medium-low heat 50 to 60 minutes, rotating packets 1/2 turn after 25 minutes, until squash is tender. Place packets on plates. Cut large X across top of each packet; fold back foil. Sprinkle pecans over squash; drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons maple syrup.
