  1. Wash the zucchini thoroughly and cut them into thick rounds or half-moons, about 1 inch thick.
  2. Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat, then add the minced garlic and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the zucchini, olive oil, salt, and pepper, then add the garlic butter and toss to coat.
  4. Thread the seasoned zucchini onto soaked wooden skewers, aiming for 4-5 pieces per skewer.
  5. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F (200°C), then grill the skewers for 8-10 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes.
  6. Once tender and charred, remove the skewers from the grill and drizzle with fresh lemon juice before serving.
