2Grill Prep
Fuel: We recommend Kingsford™ Signature Charcoal with Mesquite
Method: Direct-Heat Grilling
Temp: 350–400°F (Medium Heat)
3The Cook
When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with long-handled tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.
Apply the seasoning paste lightly and evenly to each butternut squash slice and grill directly over the coals, until they soften and start to char, about 3 minutes on each side.
Remove the slices from the grill and arrange in an 8-inch, round serving pan.
Drizzle the chimichurri dressing over the grilled squash, and sprinkle with the goat cheese.
Serve warm.
