Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by washing 2-3 medium zucchinis and slicing them into thick rounds or half-moons. Preheat your grill to medium-high, aiming for about 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small saucepan, melt 1/2 cup of unsalted butter over low heat. Add 2-3 cloves of minced garlic and stir gently for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, toss the zucchini slices with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Pour the garlic butter mixture over the zucchini, ensuring each slice is well coated.
  4. Thread the zucchini slices onto soaked wooden skewers or metal skewers, spacing them evenly.
  5. Grill the assembled skewers for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally for even charring.
  6. Remove from heat and drizzle fresh lemon juice over the skewers before serving warm.
