Fall is pumpkin time but most people just think large carving pumpkins for Halloween jack-o-lanterns. The bad news is that they’re not edible. Check the produce section for pie pumpkins, specifically grown for cooking, baking and grilling. There’s really nothing like a fresh pumpkin pie or grilled pumpkin slices.
Grill pumpkin just like you would acorn or butternut squash.
Slice vertically down the pumpkin using a long, heavy and very sharp knife. The shell is hard just like other squashes so you may need to carefully rock the knife back and forth to get that first slice off. For the grill — in this case the Char-Broil Kettleman grill — you want slices that are about a half inch thick. There’s no need to remove the rind. It will soften as it grills.
