Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Cut the pumpkin in half and remove seeds. Slice the pumpkin into 1/2-inch thick slices.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Mix well.
Brush the pumpkin slices with the olive oil mixture on both sides.
Place the slices on the preheated grill. Grill each side for about 5-7 minutes or until they are tender and have nice grill marks.
While the pumpkin is grilling, prepare the herb butter. In a small bowl, mix the dairy-free butter with chopped fresh parsley, thyme, rosemary, and lemon zest. Ensure the butter is softened for easy mixing.
Once the pumpkin slices are done, remove them from the grill and place them on a serving platter.
Spoon the herb butter over the hot pumpkin slices allowing it to melt slightly.
Serve immediately as a delightful side dish or a unique main feature.
