Grilling Directions
- Set grill to medium-high heat (425-450 degrees)

Serving
The best part about this recipe is that it can be very versatile. Keep the half of the pumpkin intact and use it as a personalized bowl for soups or dips, scrape out the cooked pumpkin from its skin and eat it as a side to your steak or chicken, or even puree the cooked pumpkin for soups.
