These Garlic Butter Zucchini Skewers are an ideal blend of fresh summer flavors and rich, buttery goodness. The tender zucchini absorbs the garlic butter, creating a deliciously savory bite with a hint of herbs. The grilling adds a slight smokiness that complements the zucchini’s mild taste, making these skewers perfect as a side dish, appetizer, or even a light main course.
Ingredients:
- 3 medium zucchinis, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning)
Directions:
- Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
- In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- Thread zucchini rounds onto skewers, leaving a small space between each piece.
- Brush zucchini with the garlic butter mixture, coating all sides evenly.
- Place skewers on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until zucchini is tender with grill marks.
- Remove from grill, brush with any remaining garlic butter, and garnish with extra parsley if desired.
