Chef's Tip
Cut the squash into the same size pieces but use different shapes to add more contrast.
Directions:
- Preheat a grill or oven to 400°F, soak the planks in hot water for at least 15 minutes.
- Peel and deseed the squash, cut into 2” pieces.
- Toss squash with the butter and oil, season with salt and pepper.
- Place the squash on soaked planks and put on the grill or in the oven. Cook for 25 minutes or until tender.
- While the squash is cooking, make the dressing. Measure the ginger beer, mustard, and lemon into a blender. With the machine running, add the oil in a steady stream until completely emulsified.
- Remove the squash from the grill and wait for 10 minutes or so before tossing in the dressing.
- Arrange the squash on a platter and garnish with pomegranate, sage, orange segments, and shaved parmesan.
- Enjoy!
*Keep a spray bottle of water handy in case of flare-ups.
