# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The garlic butter soaks into every bite making even veggie skeptics reach for seconds.
- Everything cooks in under ten minutes once your grill is hot.
02 -
- Wooden skewers need a thirty minute soak in water or they will char before your zucchini is done.
- Do not slice zucchini thinner than half an inch or it will fall apart on the grill.
03 -
- Save a spoonful of the garlic butter to drizzle over right before serving for maximum impact.
- Grill marks are pretty but tender zucchini matters more so do not overcook chasing perfect lines.
