Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Acorn Squash

    Cut the acorn squash in half lengthwise and remove the seeds with a spoon. Slice each half into 1-inch thick wedges.

  2. 2

    Season the Squash

    In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, pepper, and maple syrup. Add the squash wedges and toss until they are evenly coated with the mixture.

    Preheat the Grill or Grill Pan

    Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes.

    Place the seasoned acorn squash wedges on the grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until grill marks appear and the squash is tender.

  3. 5

    Add Fresh Thyme

    During the last minute of grilling, sprinkle fresh thyme over the squash for added flavor.

Serving

  1. 6

    Plate the Dish
