Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium Pumpkin
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Cut the pumpkin in half and remove the seeds and stringy insides using a spoon. Slice the pumpkin into 1/2-inch thick slices, retaining the skin.
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Brush each pumpkin slice on both sides with the seasoned olive oil.
Place the pumpkin slices directly onto the grill grates. Grill for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the slices are tender and have nice grill marks.
While the pumpkin is grilling, prepare the herb butter. Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Once melted, add minced garlic, finely chopped rosemary, and thyme. Stir and cook for 2-3 minutes until the garlic becomes fragrant.
Remove herb butter from heat and stir in the lemon juice.
Once the pumpkin slices are grilled, transfer them to a serving platter.
Drizzle the warm herb butter over the grilled pumpkin slices.
Serve immediately, garnished with extra fresh herbs if desired.
