Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium (about 2 pounds) pumpkin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons, finely chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon, finely chopped fresh basil
- 4 tablespoons vegan butter
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Carefully cut the pumpkin in half and remove the seeds. Slice the pumpkin into 1/2-inch thick slices, leaving the skin on for easier handling.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Brush the mixture on both sides of the pumpkin slices.
Place the pumpkin slices on the preheated grill. Grill each side for about 6-8 minutes or until tender and grill marks appear.
While the pumpkin is grilling, prepare the herb butter. In a mixing bowl, combine vegan butter, nutritional yeast, fresh parsley, fresh basil, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Once the pumpkin slices are grilled, remove them from the heat and transfer them to a serving platter.
Spoon the herb butter over the warm pumpkin slices, allowing it to melt slightly.
Serve immediately as a flavorful side dish or a light vegan entree.
