Ingredients
- 1 3-pound sugar (AKA pie) pumpkin
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to 425-450 degrees F.
- Cut the pumpkin in half with a sharp knife and scrape out all the guts (I like to save the seeds to roast them later).
- Drizzle the pumpkin with olive oil.
- Place each pumpkin half cut side down on the grill grates. Close the lid and grill for one of the following: If you plan to eat the pumpkin like you would squash (slice and serve), cook for 35-40 minutes. If you want to puree your pumpkin for use in other recipes, cook for 45-55 minutes. Use a fork to test for doneness.
- Remove the pumpkin from the grill and either serve it hot with butter, brown sugar, and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice, or scrape out the meat and puree it in a blender for 1-2 minutes until the pumpkin is totally smooth. You can know use the puree in any recipe that calls for pumpkin puree!
