Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by washing your zucchini thoroughly under cold water. Slice the zucchini into thick rounds or half-moons, about 1/2 inch thick.
  2. In a small saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, add 3 cloves of minced garlic. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Transfer sliced zucchini into a mixing bowl. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and pour in the melted garlic butter. Season with salt and pepper and toss.
  4. Thread seasoned zucchini slices onto skewers, alternating shapes. Aim for about 4-5 pieces per skewer.
  5. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Grill skewers for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown.
  6. Transfer skewers to a serving platter and drizzle fresh lemon juice over the top just before serving.
