Ingredients
- 1 pound butternut squash 450g
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon lime zest
To serve (optional)
- ½ teaspoon red chili flakes
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
Instructions
- Heat a grill until hot.
- Meanwhile, prepare the butternut squash: Wash the outside of the squash well. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the butternut squash in half and scoop out and discard the seeds. There is no need to peel the squash.
- Place the half squash on the cutting board with the cut side down (so it doesn’t roll) and cut in half again, then slice into ½-inch slices.
- TIP: To make them cook quicker on the grill, microwave or steam the squash pieces for a few minutes before tossing in the dressing.
- Mix the oil, brown sugar, salt and pepper and lime juice in a large bowl. Add the squash pieces and toss to coat. Reserve any leftover dressing.
- Place the squash onto the grate and grill (uncovered) for 10-15 minutes, or until tender, turning occassionally.
- Place the cooked squash onto a serving plate, drizzle with any leftover dressing, and sprinkle with the lime zest, chili flakes and cilantro.
