Ingredients
  

For the Skewers
  • 4 medium Zucchini
  • 4 tablespoons Butter or plant-based butter for vegan option
  • 3 cloves Garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Salt sprinkle just before cooking
  • 1/2 teaspoon Pepper
  • Fresh Herbs (optional) like parsley, basil, or dill

Equipment

  • grill
  • skewers
  • Small Bowl
  • Basting Brush

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and trim the zucchini, slicing it into 3/4-inch thick pieces. Thread them onto skewers.
  3. In a small bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Let it sit to infuse.
  4. Generously coat the zucchini skewers with the garlic butter mixture and reserve some for basting.
  5. Place the skewers on the grill, grilling for 8-12 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes.
  6. Brush the skewers with reserved garlic butter midway through cooking for extra flavor.
  7. Check for doneness; the zucchini should be lightly charred and tender when pierced.
  8. Remove from the grill, transfer to a platter, and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top.
