Grilled Spiced Pumpkin

5 05 2008

Lately I have been eating a lot of grilled vegetables, and I love love love them!! I love ANYTHING grilled. I had a big fresh pumpkin wedge in my fridge and I wanted to make something with it. I always make a nice pumpkin soup, but I wasnt up for that, so I decided to have it grilled! I put together some spices and olive oil and here it is :

You need :

Fresh pumpkin (800 gr)

4 tbsp olive oil

1 1/2 tsp garlic powder

1 1/2 tsp sweet paprika

2 tsp lemon pepper

Now in a bowl mix all the spices with the olive oil. Cut the pumpkin pie in chunky wedges without removing the skin. Pour over pumpkin wedges half of you spiced oil. Toss well. Now just before you place each wedge on the grill, brush individually with remaining oil. Grill for 30 minutes or until pumpkin is tender. You can also add some lemon juice to top the wedges before you serve! Serves 4 as a side dish.
