Honey Glazed Squash Recipe

I found this recipe because someone gave me a winter squash. I simplified the process by laying out the cut pieces of squash in a casserole dish and glazing with 1 tbsp of honey and 1 tbsp with olive oil instead of butter. I covered the dish with aluminum foil and throw it in the oven along side the chicken. I moved it around every 5 minutes. It cooked total for about 30 minutes, the oven was on 375. During the last 5 minutes I added the second tbsp of honey. When the chicken was done, so was the squash and dinner was delicious. 

• 1 1/2 pounds buttercup squash (or other winter squash)
• 1/4 cup melted butter (or margarine)
• GLAZE:
• 1/4 cup melted butter (or margarine)
• 2 tablespoons honey

• Pierce skin of squash several times and place on a microwave-safe plate in the microwave; cook on high for 6 to 8 minutes. This will soften the squash slightly, making it easier to cut in half.  Overcooking at this point will make the squash fall apart when handling.
• After microwaving, allow the squash to sit for 2 or 3 minutes. Cut in half crosswise and remove seeds and stringy fibers from the center. Peel away the outer skin of the squash and then cut the two halves into approximately 1 1/2" cubes.
• Thread the squash cubes onto metal skewers and brush with 1/4 cup melted butter. Place the squash on the grill over indirect high heat and close the cover. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes. Turn 2 or 3 times throughout the cooking time and baste with leftover melted butter.
• While squash is cooking, mix 1/4 cup melted butter and honey together and heat in microwave until hot. Squash is done if tender when poked with a fork. When done, remove the squash from the grill and place on a platter. Brush the squash with the honey and butter mixture. Serve while hot.
