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

Directions

Step 1

Cut the pumpkin in half and remove the seeds. Then, slice the pumpkin into 1/2-inch thick slices.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Mince the garlic and add it to the herb butter mixture, stirring well to combine all the ingredients. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 5

Brush each pumpkin slice with olive oil on both sides to prevent sticking and to add a bit of moisture.

Step 6

Sprinkle the slices with black pepper evenly over each side.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

While the pumpkin is grilling, return the herb butter to low heat for a quick reheat, and then stir in the lemon juice.

Step 9

Once the pumpkin slices are cooked, remove them from the grill and place them on a serving plate.

Step 10

Drizzle the warm herb butter generously over the grilled pumpkin slices.

Step 11

Serve immediately, and enjoy your low sodium grilled pumpkin slices with herb butter.
