Ingredients

Instructions

  • Slice the squash in half vertically down the middle. Scoop out the inside seeds and discard. Cut the squash into 1 1/2" crescent moon slices.
  • Take the bacon and slice in half. Wrap each half around one slice of squash and set it seam side down on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and BBQ seasoning (if desired).

Grilling:

  • Set the grill for indirect heat at 350F. Place each piece onto the grates (seam side down) and cook for about 20-25 minutes. Baste with BBQ sauce if desired and cook till the bacon is slightly crispier and the sauce is set. Remove from the heat and place on a plate for serving. Apply the BBQ sauce the last 10 minutes of cooking and again before serving.

Oven Roasting:

  • Preheat the oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with foil. Place baking racks over the baking sheet and place the bacon wrapped squash on the rack. Cook for about 20-25 minutes before basting with BBQ sauce and allow it to cook till squash is tender and bacon is semi-crispy.Apply the BBQ sauce the last 10 minutes of cooking and again before serving.

Notes

Don't worry about peeling a delicata squash, you can eat the skin!
