Grilled Butternut Squash

Grilled Butternut Squash features tender rounds with light char and sweet, caramelized edges that highlight the squash’s natural nuttiness. A kiss of olive oil, salt, pepper, and optional thyme or smoked paprika adds depth without overpowering. Serve as a simple side or slice into salads when you want something warm, smoky, and satisfying.
