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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Brush the mixture on both sides of the pumpkin slices.
Step 4
Place the pumpkin slices on the preheated grill. Grill each side for about 6-8 minutes or until tender and grill marks appear.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Once the pumpkin slices are grilled, remove them from the heat and transfer them to a serving platter.
Step 7
Spoon the herb butter over the warm pumpkin slices, allowing it to melt slightly.
Step 8
Serve immediately as a flavorful side dish or a light vegan entree.
