  1. Wash the zucchini thoroughly and cut it into equal-sized thick rounds or half-moons, ensuring they're about 1-inch thick.
  2. Melt the unsalted butter over low heat in a small saucepan and add minced garlic, cooking until fragrant for about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Combine zucchini with melted garlic butter in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle in olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
  4. Soak wooden skewers in water for about 30 minutes, then thread the zucchini slices onto the skewers snugly.
