Looking for a simple and delicious side dish for your next outdoor cookout? Grilled zucchini skewers are the perfect choice. They are easy to prepare, healthy, and full of flavor. Whether you’re hosting a summer barbecue or a casual family dinner, these skewers will impress your guests.
Ingredients Needed
- 2 medium zucchinis
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Wooden or metal skewers
Preparation Steps
Start by washing the zucchinis thoroughly. Cut them into 1-inch thick slices or chunks suitable for skewering. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Brush this mixture generously over the zucchini pieces. This will add flavor and help prevent sticking on the grill.
Thread the zucchini pieces onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Grilling Tips
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side. Rotate them carefully to ensure even grilling. The zucchini should become tender and have nice grill marks.
Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a minute. Serve hot as a side dish or a vegetarian main course.
