Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 small Pumpkin
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 clove Garlic
Instructions
Preheat your grill or a grill pan to medium-high heat.
Cut the small pumpkin in half, remove seeds, and slice into 1/2-inch thick wedges.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, salt, and black pepper together.
Brush each pumpkin slice lightly with the olive oil mixture.
Place the pumpkin slices on the preheated grill and cook for 8-10 minutes on each side until grill marks appear and the flesh is tender.
While the pumpkin is grilling, prepare the herb butter: Finely chop the fresh parsley, thyme leaves, and garlic clove.
In another small bowl, combine unsalted butter, chopped parsley, thyme, and garlic. Mix well until fully incorporated.
Once the pumpkin slices are grilled to your liking, remove them from the grill and place on a serving platter.
Spread a small amount of herb butter over each pumpkin slice while they are still hot, allowing the butter to melt over the surface.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious low-fat grilled pumpkin slices with herb butter.
