Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium Pumpkin
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
- 1 clove Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Cut the pumpkin in half and remove the seeds. Then, slice the pumpkin into 1/2-inch thick slices.
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Finely chop the parsley, rosemary, and thyme, then add them to the melted butter.
Mince the garlic and add it to the herb butter mixture, stirring well to combine all the ingredients. Remove from heat and set aside.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Brush each pumpkin slice with olive oil on both sides to prevent sticking and to add a bit of moisture.
Sprinkle the slices with black pepper evenly over each side.
Place the pumpkin slices on the grill. Cook each side for about 8-10 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender and has nice grill marks.
While the pumpkin is grilling, return the herb butter to low heat for a quick reheat, and then stir in the lemon juice.
Once the pumpkin slices are cooked, remove them from the grill and place them on a serving plate.
Drizzle the warm herb butter generously over the grilled pumpkin slices.
Serve immediately, and enjoy your low sodium grilled pumpkin slices with herb butter.
