Thick zucchini rounds are threaded onto skewers, charred over high heat until tender, then drizzled with garlicky chimichurri for a fresh, tangy finish. A simple side dish for grilled meats or a light vegetarian main alongside grains.

Ingredients

  • 4 medium zucchini, cut into thick rounds
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup chimichurri sauce
  • 8 wooden or metal skewers

Method

  1. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 15 minutes to prevent burning.

  2. Cut the zucchini into 1-inch thick rounds and thread them onto the skewers, piercing through the center of each round.

  3. Brush the zucchini skewers on both sides with olive oil, then season with salt and black pepper.

  4. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

  5. Grill the skewers, turning occasionally, until the zucchini is tender and charred in spots, about 8 to 10 minutes.

  6. Transfer the skewers to a platter and drizzle generously with chimichurri sauce before serving.
