Zucchini skewers: the tasty recipe for quick lunches
Zucchini skewers are a tasty and very simple idea to prepare for the summer. In a short time you can make nice finger food, to serve as an appetizer or as a second dish. The basic recipe that we present today is a completely vegetarian dish, but of course you can indulge yourself in enriching it as you like.
Preparing them is very simple and fast; it is a smart recipe because you can organize yourself in advance and have the skewers ready for a last minute meal. You won't even need to blanch the zucchini because we will cut them very thin, so quick cooking in the oven will be enough.

Try the fish version of the zucchini and shrimp skewers, or zucchini and sausage for a decidedly rustic and tasty variant. Sprinkle them with plenty of grated parmesan cheese to gratin them in the oven. So let’s see how to prepare zucchini skewers.
