Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium-sized pumpkin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons ghee
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Cut the pumpkin in half, remove the seeds, and slice into 1-inch thick segments. There should be about 8 slices if using a medium-sized pumpkin.
Brush both sides of each pumpkin slice with olive oil and season with sea salt and black pepper.
Place the pumpkin slices directly onto the grill grates. Grill for about 5-7 minutes on each side until they are tender and grill marks appear.
While the pumpkin is grilling, prepare the herb butter. In a small bowl, mix the ghee, finely chopped fresh parsley, fresh thyme, minced garlic, and lemon zest until well combined.
Once the pumpkin slices are grilled to your preference, remove them from the grill and arrange them on a serving platter.
Spoon the herb butter over the hot pumpkin slices, allowing it to melt slightly over each.
Serve immediately as a flavorful side dish or as a warm appetizer. Enjoy!
