Ingredients
- 1 whole small pie pumpkin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 tablespoons unsalted ghee
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium heat, around 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
While the grill heats, prepare the pumpkin. Carefully cut the pumpkin in half and remove the seeds and fibrous strings with a spoon.
Step 3
Slice the pumpkin into 1/2-inch thick wedges, leaving the skin on to help hold the slices together.
Step 4
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper. Brush this mixture over both sides of the pumpkin slices.
Step 5
Place the pumpkin slices directly onto the preheated grill. Cook each side for about 8-10 minutes, or until they are tender with grill marks.
Step 6
While the pumpkin is grilling, prepare the herb butter. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the ghee.
Step 7
Finely chop the fresh thyme and rosemary, and mince the garlic cloves.
Step 8
Add the chopped herbs, garlic, and lemon juice to the melted ghee. Stir to combine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
Step 9
Once the pumpkin slices are done grilling, transfer them to a serving platter.
Step 10
Drizzle the warm herb butter over the grilled pumpkin slices and serve immediately.
