How to Make Bbq Minted Zook Skewers

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 clove minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Cut zucchini into 1-inch thick chunks. Thread zucchini chunks onto skewers, alternating colors and types of vegetables if desired.
  3. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Place skewers on the grill and cook for 15-20 minutes, basting frequently with the marinade and turning occasionally, until zucchini is tender and slightly charred.
  4. If broiling in the oven, preheat broiler. Place skewers on a baking sheet and broil for 10-15 minutes, turning halfway through, until zucchini is tender and slightly charred.
  5. Remove skewers from grill or oven, and serve immediately. Garnish with extra fresh mint, if desired.
