These grilled zucchini skewers with feta are the appetizer that disappears first at every cookout. Thin zucchini ribbons wrap around creamy feta chunks, then get seared until golden and finished with a drizzle of honey. If you love crispy zucchini rolls with garlic sauce, this grilled version will become your new favorite.
Ingredients
- 1 zucchini
- 1 pack feta cheese
- Olive oil
- Honey for drizzling
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- Spices to taste (oregano, chili, black pepper)
- Lemon juice to taste
- Wooden skewers
Instructions
- Cut the feta into chunks. Mix the olive oil with the minced garlic, lemon juice, and spices.
- Slice the zucchini into thin ribbons and wrap each feta chunk.
- Thread the rolls onto skewers and grill or pan-sear on both sides until golden.
- Drizzle with a little honey when serving.
Tips
- Soak the wooden skewers in water for 20 minutes before grilling so they don’t burn.
- Use a vegetable peeler to cut even, thin zucchini ribbons that wrap neatly around the feta.
- Pull the skewers off the heat as soon as grill marks appear so the feta stays creamy — quick, hot grilling keeps vegetables crisp-tender. You’ll find more grilling know-how at Serious Eats.
Serve these skewers warm next to a seared tuna salad with grilled zucchini and avocado for a light summer spread. For more appetizer inspiration, browse the recipe collection at Allrecipes.
