Ingredients

  • 1 medium zucchini

    trimmed and peeled

  • 6 ounces marinated feta cheese

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the zucchini: Use a vegetable peeler or a mandoline slicer to slice the zucchini into thin, long ribbons.

  2. 2

    Roll: Place one zucchini ribbon flat on your cutting board. Place a cube of marinated feta on the short end closest to you. Roll the zucchini ribbon away from you to fully encase the marinated feta. Repeat until you have used all of the zucchini.

  3. 3

    Skewer: Gently slide 3 of the zucchini-wrapped feta cubes onto a small bamboo skewer. (It’s not a bad idea to use 2 skewers to keep them from rolling around while grilling.)

  4. 4

    Get ready: Brush a cast iron griddle or grill pan with a little olive oil. Heat to medium-high.

  5. 5

    Grill: Assemble the zucchini skewers on the heated surface and cook for a couple of minutes on each side or until the zucchini layer gains some color.

  6. 6

    Serve: Serve warm, with the rolls still on their skewer.

About this Recipe

Craving an elegant yet effortless appetizer that's sure to impress? These Zucchini Feta Skewers deliver on all fronts, offering a burst of fresh flavor and sophisticated appeal in under 15 minutes. Perfect for last-minute gatherings or a light bite before dinner, you'll love how quickly these come together.

What makes this recipe truly special is the thoughtful combination of simple ingredients transformed by a quick grill. Fresh zucchini ribbons are carefully peeled and then rolled around generous pieces of creamy, tangy, and slightly spicy marinated feta cheese. Grilling the skewers briefly infuses them with a delicate smokiness while warming the feta to a delightful tenderness, creating a delightful contrast.

Expect a harmonious balance of textures and tastes. Each bite offers the tender chew of warm, subtly sweet zucchini, beautifully complemented by the rich, savory, and piquant notes of the marinated feta. The slight spice from the feta adds an intriguing layer of complexity without being overpowering, making these skewers incredibly moreish. As a naturally gluten-free option, these feel light yet utterly satisfying.

While these zucchini feta skewers are fantastic as is, feel free to make them your own. You could experiment with thinly sliced yellow squash for a vibrant color variation or seek out different kinds of store-bought marinated feta with various herb or spice infusions. For an extra touch of freshness, a sprinkle of chopped fresh mint or dill just before serving would be delightful.

These festive and elegant skewers are perfectly suited for your next dinner party, summer BBQ, or as a sophisticated starter for any meal. Serve them fresh off the grill as a delightful finger food that guests can easily enjoy.
