❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Grilled Squash with Garlic Herb Butter
Q: What type of squash works best for this recipe?
I find that a larger squash like an acorn or butternut works best for this recipe. They hold their shape well when grilled and have a nice balance of sweetness and nuttiness.
