Grilled Pumpkin With Rosemary and Sea Salt

Ingredients

  • 1 small sugar pumpkin, washed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Method

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high.
  2. Slice the pumpkin vertically into pieces 3/4 inch thick. Discard the seeds and any fibrous interior. Coat each slice generously on both sides with olive oil. Finish by scattering over the sea salt and chopped rosemary.
  3. Lay the pumpkin slices on the hot grill. Cook for approximately 5 minutes per side, or until you achieve prominent dark grill marks. Flip and continue grilling the other side until a fork pierces the flesh without resistance, ensuring it is fully tender.
  4. As some seasoning may be lost during cooking, present the grilled pumpkin with a little extra sea salt on the side for dipping.
