Garlic Butter Zucchini Skewers

Garlic Butter Zucchini Skewers are a delightful way to enjoy grilled vegetables that are bursting with flavor, making them the perfect side dish for any summer barbecue.

  • Total Time: 17 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium Zucchini, sliced into thick rounds; can substitute with yellow squash
  • 1/4 cup Unsalted Butter, melted; olive oil can be used for a healthier option
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced; increases flavor intensity when fresh
  • 1 teaspoon Salt, adjust to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper, freshly cracked preferred
  • 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning, a great herbal mix
  • Skewers, as needed; use metal skewers or soak wooden ones for 30 minutes before grilling

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Mix melted butter, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning in a bowl until combined.
  3. Thread zucchini slices onto the skewers, packing them evenly.
  4. Brush garlic butter mixture over the assembled skewers.
  5. Place skewers on the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until zucchini is tender and slightly charred.
  6. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

Ensure zucchini slices are of uniform thickness to promote even cooking. Fresh garlic enhances the flavor compared to dried garlic. Pair with a refreshing dip to elevate your appetizer game.
