BBQ Grilled Pumpkin
Grilled pumpkin is one of the most delicious ways to prepare this autumnal vegetable. Grilling caramelizes the pumpkin, enhancing its natural sweetness, while the cinnamon and honey further enhance the flavor profile. The smoky aroma and crispy edges make this dish unique, making it a perfect choice for grilled meats or as a light vegetarian dish. If you want to make it even richer, try sprinkling it with toasted nuts or feta cheese.

Preparation Steps
1
Wash the pumpkin, then peel it and cut it into approximately 1 cm thick slices or wedges for even grilling.
2
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, honey, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Toss the pumpkin slices in the mixture to coat them evenly.
3
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. If grilling on a grill grate, lightly oil it to prevent the pumpkin from sticking.
4
Place the pumpkin slices on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, until lightly charred and tender.
5
While grilling, sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves for an extra layer of aroma.
6
Once the pumpkin is cooked, drizzle with a little extra honey before serving for an even sweeter taste.
7
Serve as a side dish or as a standalone dish, perhaps alongside a fresh salad.
