Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Wash your zucchinis thoroughly and cut them into thick rounds or half-moons (about ½-inch thick). Set aside.
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Stir in minced garlic and cook for about 2 minutes.
Toss zucchini slices with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Pour in the melted garlic butter and mix to coat.
Thread the zucchini onto skewers, alternating for presentation. Place on a plate, ready for grilling.
Preheat grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F/200°C). Grill skewers for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally.
Remove from grill, drizzle with lemon juice, and serve hot as a side dish.
