Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons butter
• ¼ cup maple syrup
• 1 butternut squash, cubed

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add squash and boil until almost tender yet still firm, 5 to 8 minutes.

Step 3

Meanwhile, melt butter in a skillet over low heat. Stir in maple syrup and brown sugar and cook until sugar has dissolved, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Drain semi-cooked squash and place on a large sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil and brush with some of the maple glaze; reserve remaining glaze. Fold up foil to close.

Step 5

Cook on the preheated grill until squash is tender, 10 to 15 minutes, brushing with remaining glaze occasionally and flipping halfway through cooking time.
