Best Grilled Delicata Squash With Warm Cranberry Dressing Recipes
GRILLED DELICATA SQUASH
Delicata squash is actually named for its delicate, edible skin. It's so easy to prepare--just cut open and take out the seeds. Half-inch slices grill up quickly, and the lovely caramelization enhances the flavor.

Steps:
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Wash and dry each squash and place on a cutting board. With a sharp knife, slice off the stem end and slice each squash in half, lengthwise. Using a spoon, remove the seeds and membranes. Slice across each squash half to create 1/2-inch pieces and place in a mixing bowl.
- Combine melted butter, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a small bowl. Stir to combine, and pour over squash pieces. Stir squash in the butter mixture until coated.
- Place squash pieces directly on the preheated grill grates and grill 4 to 5 minutes, per side. Move squash away from flare-ups. When grill marks appear and squash is fork-tender, remove from heat and place in a mixing bowl.
- Pour maple syrup over the squash pieces and stir to coat. Place on a serving dish and garnish with feta cheese crumbles, if desired.

DELICATA SQUASH SALAD WITH KALE AND CRANBERRY BEANS
From Whole Living. I used peanut oil and light balsamic vinegar. I didn't end up with enough dressing to wilt the kale, so I just stuck it all in the microwave for a couple of minutes. It's also good cold, as it turns out; I had to refrigerate it overnight.

Steps:
- 1.Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut squashes into 1/2-inch-thick semicircles. Toss with 1 teaspoon oil, and spread onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake until just tender, 15 to 18 minutes. Mix together balsamic vinegar and honey. Brush some of the mixture onto squash slices; reserve remaining mixture. Bake for 5 minutes more.
- 2.Meanwhile, place kale in a large bowl. Heat remaining tablespoon oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add shallot and garlic, and cook until slightly softened, about 4 minutes. Add red-wine vinegar and remaining vinegar-honey mixture to saucepan, and bring to a boil. Immediately pour hot dressing over kale, and sprinkle with salt. Season with pepper. Add squash and beans. Cover with plastic, and let stand for 5 minutes. Toss until kale wilts slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature.
