    Step 1:
    Select a large firm butternut squash and slice it in half lengthwise.

    Peel and remove the seeds from the squash.

    Carefully seal the aluminum foil with the butternut squash recipe inside so nothing leaks out as it's cooking.

    This is probably the most important part of cooking butternut squash in foil on the barbecue.

    how to grill squash in foil

    Setup the grill for indirect grilling and heat to 400F.

    When the barbecue reaches this temperature place the foil package on the grates (not over direct heat) and close the lid.

    You're cooking this butternut recipe for 45 - 50 minutes however after 25 minutes flip the foil package over and close the lid.

    Tip: If you have a small warming rack above the main grates that's a perfect spot to put this package of squash like the picture. I'm not using the rear infrared burner though.

    Step 4:
    After 45-50 minutes remove the foil packet from the BBQ and place it in a shallow dish.

    Carefully cut open the foil pack and spoon the cooked squash onto a serving plate and serve immediately.

    This makes a great side dish for BBQ chicken recipes or a BBQ pork recipe especially.

    Enjoy!
