Ingredients
- 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 or metal)
Instructions
- Preheat Grill: Preheat the grill to medium heat to ensure even cooking and perfect charring on the zucchini skewers.
- Prepare Garlic Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, combine melted unsalted butter, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper thoroughly to create a flavorful marinade.
- Assemble Skewers: Thread the zucchini slices onto the skewers, leaving a slight space between each piece to allow even cooking and prevent sticking.
- Brush with Garlic Butter: Generously brush the garlic butter mixture over all sides of the zucchini skewers, ensuring each piece is well coated for maximum flavor.
- Grill the Skewers: Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until the zucchini is tender and has nice grill marks and slight char.
Notes
- For best results, soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes prior to grilling to prevent burning.
- Feel free to substitute dried oregano with Italian seasoning for a different herbal flavor profile.
- Adjust garlic quantity based on your preference for garlicky intensity.
- These skewers can also be cooked in a grill pan on the stovetop if an outdoor grill is unavailable.
- Serve immediately for optimal texture and flavor.
