# Expert Advice:
01 -
- The garlic butter creates this incredible caramelization that makes people think you spent hours on prep
- They cook in under 10 minutes but disappear even faster
02 -
- Soak wooden skewers for at least 30 minutes or they will burn and fall apart on the grill
- Dont cut the zucchini too thin or they will turn mushy instead of getting those nice charred edges
03 -
- Room temperature zucchini grills more evenly than cold from the fridge
- A silicone brush works better than a natural bristle one for the butter mixture
