Grilled Pattypan Squash With Garlic Butter

This squash has a subtle sweetness and a meaty, yet juicy texture. The flavor is simple, but the savory garlic butter takes things up a notch. Pattypan squash has a different shape that typical squash, but it’s just as inexpensive—so cooking one up is an easy and budget-friendly way to impress company. Try it as a side for grilled chicken or steak.

  • For larger pieces of pattypan squash, trim stem ends and cut into quarters or wedges. For smaller squash, cut in half.

  • Toss together cut squash, olive oil, and remaining 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Place pieces of squash on oiled grates, and grill, undisturbed, until they release easily from the grill with distinct grill marks, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip squash, and continue to cook until tender and cooked on each side, about 5 minutes more. Place in a shallow dish for serving.  

  • Top hot grilled squash with garlic butter, and serve immediately.
