Peel the butternut squash and remove the seeds. Cut into ¼-inch slices.
Combine the ingredients for the chimichurri dressing in a food processor. Blend until the ingredients are coarsely chopped.
In a small bowl, combine the ingredients for the seasoning paste.
2 Grill Prep
Fuel: We recommend Kingsford® Signature Charcoal with Mesquite
Method: Direct-Heat Grilling
Temp: 350–400°F (Medium Heat)
Carefully hold your hand about 5” to 6” above the grate, and refer to the temperature settings below:
• High Heat (450° to 550°F):
2 to 4 seconds
• Medium Heat (350° to 450°F):
5 to 6 seconds
• Low Heat (250° to 350°F):
8 to 10 seconds
Make sure your clothing doesn’t touch the grate, and always move your hand away from the heat before you feel discomfort.
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.
3 The 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.
