Ingredients
Scale
Zucchini Skewers
- 2 medium zucchinis, sliced into ½-inch rounds
- Skewers (wooden or metal)
Garlic Butter Mixture
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano (or Italian seasoning)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill to medium heat to ensure it is ready to cook the zucchini skewers evenly without burning them.
- Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine melted unsalted butter, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well to infuse the butter with the garlic and herbs.
- Skewer Zucchini: Thread the sliced zucchini rounds onto the skewers, leaving slight spacing between each piece to allow for even cooking and better flavor absorption.
- Brush with Garlic Butter: Generously brush the garlic butter mixture over the zucchini skewers, coating each piece thoroughly to enhance flavor.
- Grill Skewers: Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally to achieve tender and charred zucchini with a smoky garlic flavor.
Notes
- Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning.
- For extra flavor, sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese on the skewers after grilling.
- Can be served as a side dish with grilled meats or as a vegetarian appetizer.
- Adjust seasoning as needed to your taste preferences.
- If a grill is not available, you can also cook these under a broiler or on a stovetop grill pan.
