Making grilled pumpkin is an easy and delicious way to make sure all those extra pumpkin decorations don't go to waste. Just add some oil and herbs, grill it up, and enjoy! For this recipe, choose a 'sugar' or 'pie' pumpkin, the smaller cousin of the larger carving pumpkins. These have firm, sweet flesh with a consistency perfect for grilling.
