Acorn Squash with Fresh Sage & Olive Oil

Simply because the weather has turned crisp doesn't mean you have to put away the grill. Frankly, fall is my favorite time to grill. When the weather is cool, there is nothing more satisfying than grill-roasted or smoked meats and vegetables.

One of my favorite things to grill is winter squash. It is a very modern and savory way to prepare squash and a nice change from the usual brown sugar, maple-syrup, marshmallow recipes. Those dishes have their place at the table, for sure, but try savory squash and you might never go back.

Ingredients

2 Acorn squash, cut in 1/2 and cleaned

8 fresh sage leaves

Olive Oil

Kosher salt

Pepper

Methods/steps

Grilling Method: Indirect/Medium

Cut acorn squash in half and remove seeds. Cut a sliver of the bottom so it will stand straight. Bruise sage leaves by rubbing inside of each half of squash. Coat with olive oil, season with salt.
