Ingredients
- 1 large delicata squash
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon minced shallot
- ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons dried cranberries, coarsley chopped
Instructions
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Scrub delicata squash well to make sure the skin is clean. Slice the ends off the delicata squash. Using a spoon or butter knife, reach into the ends, remove the seeds, and discard. Slice squash into 3/4-inch slices. Place into a resealable plastic bag with 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add shallot and saute until lightly browned and translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle with thyme and whisk in balsamic vinegar and honey until well combined. Add cranberries and bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low and let simmer until dressing is starting to thicken, 2 to 3 more minutes. Remove from heat and set aside; keep warm.
- Place squash slices on the preheated grill and close lid; grill until lightly charred and soft, about 5 minutes on each side. Remove squash to a platter and spoon warm dressing over the top.
- I used reduced-sugar dried cranberries in this recipe.
