Categories     side-dish

Time 45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Oil, for oiling grill grates
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard powder
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 acorn squashes (about 2 pounds each)
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons toasted pepitas (roasted hulled pumpkin seeds)

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill for cooking over medium heat. Lightly oil the grill grates.
  • Melt the butter in a small saucepan and turn off the heat. Remove 1/4 cup of the melted butter and reserve. Whisk the maple syrup, cider vinegar, dry mustard, crushed red pepper, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper into the saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 4 minutes to reduce slightly. Remove the glaze from the heat and let cool. Set aside 1/3 cup of the glaze for drizzling at the end.
  • Carefully halve the squashes from the stem to the bottom. Scoop out the seeds with a spoon and discard. Place the squash halves flat-side down and slice crosswise into 1/2-inch scalloped half-moons. Place the slices in a very large bowl.
  • Mix together the chili powder, coriander, cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the squash slices. Drizzle the reserved 1/4 cup of melted butter over the squash. Toss with your hands to make sure the slices are evenly coated.
  • Place the squash slices on the grill and cover. Cook until dark grill marks appear, about 10 minutes. Flip the squash slices; cover and cook until the squash is just tender enough to be pierced easily with a paring knife, 7 to 8 minutes more.
  • Brush the squash slices with the glaze and flip. Cook 1 minute, brush with glaze, flip and cook on the other side for another minute. Remove from the grill and arrange on a large platter. Drizzle with the reserved glaze. Sprinkle with the pepitas. Serve warm or at room temperature.
