Description
These Garlic Butter Zucchini Skewers are a quick, flavorful side dish that’s perfect for busy weeknights or summer barbecues. The tender zucchini pieces are coated in a delectable garlic butter sauce for a veggie-packed delight.
Ingredients
– 2 lbs zucchini, cut into 1-inch pieces
– 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tsp salt
– 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
1. 1. Preheat oven to 400°F or prepare a grill for medium-high heat.
2. 2. In a large bowl, toss the zucchini pieces with the melted butter, garlic, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
3. 3. Thread the zucchini pieces onto skewers, leaving a bit of space between each piece.
4. 4. If roasting, place the skewers on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast for 15-18 minutes, flipping halfway, until zucchini is tender and lightly browned.
5. 5. If grilling, place the skewers directly on the grill grates and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until zucchini is tender and charred in spots.
6. 6. Serve the Garlic Butter Zucchini Skewers hot, garnished with fresh parsley or chives if desired.
Notes
For best results, choose firm, young zucchini. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese to the final dish. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
