Description
These Garlic Butter Zucchini Skewers are grilled to tender perfection and brushed with a savory garlic herb butter. A simple yet flavorful side dish bursting with fresh, smoky goodness.
Ingredients
- 4 medium zucchini
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 cup bell peppers, chopped
- 1 cup mushrooms
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium heat, about 350°F (175°C).
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Slice the zucchini into thick rounds. Thread zucchini, bell peppers, and mushrooms onto skewers, leaving a little space between pieces for even cooking.
- Brush the skewers generously with the garlic butter mixture.
- Grill the skewers for 8–10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and have grill marks.
- Remove from the grill and drizzle with any remaining garlic butter before serving warm.
Notes
- Soak wooden skewers in water for 20 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
- Substitute butter with olive oil for a dairy-free option.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Serve alongside grilled meats or as part of a vegetarian platter.
