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
0.25 teaspoon dried thyme
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons dried cranberries, coarsley chopped

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
Step 2

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.
Step 3

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.
Step 4

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.
