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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Brush each pumpkin slice on both sides with the seasoned olive oil.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Remove herb butter from heat and stir in the lemon juice.

Step 7

Once the pumpkin slices are grilled, transfer them to a serving platter.

Step 8

Drizzle the warm herb butter over the grilled pumpkin slices.

Step 9

Serve immediately, garnished with extra fresh herbs if desired.
