Ingredients

2 large delicata squash
0.33 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon cinnamon
0.5 teaspoon salt
0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
0.33 cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese, or to taste

Instructions

Preheat your outdoor grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking.
Remove and discard the stem ends from each squash. Slice each squash lengthwise, creating two halves. Use a spoon to remove the seeds and membranes. Cut the squash into ½-inch slices and place them in a bowl.
In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg. Pour this mixture over the squash slices, stirring to ensure they are evenly coated.
Place the squash slices on the preheated grill and cook until grill marks appear and the squash is easily pierced with a fork, approximately 4 to 5 minutes per side. Move the slices away from any flare-ups during cooking. Transfer the cooked squash to a serving bowl.
Drizzle maple syrup generously over the grilled squash, stirring gently to coat all the slices. Garnish with crumbled feta cheese for a touch of salty and tangy flavor.
