Ingredients:
- 2 medium zucchini (approx. 1 lb / 450g), sliced into 1-inch thick rounds
- 1 tbsp (15ml) olive oil
- ½ tsp (3g) kosher salt
- ¼ tsp (1g) cracked black pepper
- 3 tbsp (42g) unsalted butter, melted
- 3 cloves (9g) garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp (15ml) fresh lemon juice
- 1 tbsp (4g) fresh parsley, finely chopped
- ¼ tsp (1g) red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions:
- 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.
- Slide the zucchini pieces onto the skewers. Leave a tiny gap between each slice to allow heat to penetrate the sides.
- Whisk together 3 tbsp melted unsalted butter, 3 cloves minced garlic, 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice, and 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley.
- Place skewers on a preheated medium high grill. Cook for 3-5 minutes per side until deep brown grill marks appear.
- During the last 2 minutes of cooking, brush the garlic butter mixture generously over the skewers.
- Flip once more for about 60 seconds until the butter caramelizes and sizzles.
- Remove from heat and garnish with ¼ tsp red pepper flakes for a hit of heat.
