Garlic Butter Zucchini Skewers: Golden

Instructions:

1. Wash and dry the zucchini thoroughly. Slice them into 1 inch thick rounds. In a large bowl, toss the rounds with 1 tbsp olive oil, ½ tsp kosher salt, and ¼ tsp cracked black pepper until lightly coated.
2. Slide the zucchini pieces onto the skewers. Leave a tiny gap between each slice to allow heat to penetrate the sides.
3. Whisk together 3 tbsp melted unsalted butter, 3 cloves minced garlic, 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice, and 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley.
4. Place skewers on a preheated medium high grill. Cook for 3-5 minutes per side until deep brown grill marks appear.
5. During the last 2 minutes of cooking, brush the garlic butter mixture generously over the skewers.
6. Flip once more for about 60 seconds until the butter caramelizes and sizzles.
7. Remove from heat and garnish with ¼ tsp red pepper flakes for a hit of heat.
