Method
 

How to Make Garlic Butter Zucchini Skewers
  1. Preheat the grill to medium heat, around 350°F (175°C), ensuring an even cooking surface for your skewers.
  2. Mix the garlic butter by combining melted butter, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
  3. Thread the zucchini slices onto skewers, making sure to leave a little space between each piece for even grilling.
  4. Brush the skewers with the garlic butter mixture, ensuring the zucchini is well-coated.
  5. Grill the skewers for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until the zucchini is tender and has beautiful grill marks.
  6. Serve warm, drizzled with any remaining garlic butter for an extra flavor boost.
