How to Make Acorn Squash In Foil On The Grill

1. Preheat grill to medium heat.
2. Cut acorn squash in half lengthwise and remove seeds and stringy pulp.
3. Place each acorn squash half cut-side down on a large piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil (approximately 12x12 inches per half).
4. Drizzle each squash half with 2 tablespoons olive oil.
5. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper over each half.
6. Add 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon brown sugar to the center of each squash cavity (optional).
7. Wrap the foil tightly around each squash half, creating a sealed packet.
8. Place the foil packets directly on the grill grates over medium heat.
9. Cook for 30 minutes.
10. Carefully open the foil packets. Use tongs to flip the squash halves cut-side up.
11. Reseal the foil packets and cook for an additional 30-40 minutes, or until a fork easily pierces the squash.
12. Remove from grill and let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
