- 2 medium zucchinis sliced into ½-inch rounds
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Skewers wooden, soaked in water for 30 minutes, or metal
Instructions
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
- Make the Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Assemble Skewers: Thread zucchini rounds onto skewers, leaving space between each slice.
- Brush with Garlic Butter: Use a pastry brush to generously coat zucchini on all sides with the garlic butter mixture.
- Grill: Place skewers on grill and cook for 8–10 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender with grill marks.
- Serve: Remove from grill, drizzle with remaining garlic butter if desired, and serve warm.
Notes
- For variety: Substitute yellow squash or add a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat.
- Dairy-free option: Use olive oil instead of butter.
- Oven method: Bake at 425°F for 12–15 minutes, turning halfway through.
- Storage: Remove from skewers and refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat in oven for best results.
