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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Brush both sides of each pumpkin slice with olive oil and season with sea salt and black pepper.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Once the pumpkin slices are grilled to your preference, remove them from the grill and arrange them on a serving platter.
Step 7
Spoon the herb butter over the hot pumpkin slices, allowing it to melt slightly over each.
Step 8
Serve immediately as a flavorful side dish or as a warm appetizer. Enjoy!
