Instructions

1. Step 1: Thread zucchini, cherry tomatoes, and red onion onto 8 skewers, alternating pieces. Brush lightly with 1 tbsp olive oil, then season with 1/8 tsp salt and 1/16 tsp pepper.
2. Step 2: Heat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat until lightly smoking. Place skewers on grill, turning once, and cook for 8-10 minutes total until vegetables are tender-crisp and slightly charred on edges.
3. Step 3: While vegetables cook, whisk together 2 tbsp olive oil, lemon juice, 1 tbsp thyme, minced garlic, 1/8 tsp salt, and 1/16 tsp pepper in a small bowl until combined.
4. Step 4: Brush grilled skewers with half the lemon-herb glaze. Transfer to a plate, sprinkle with crumbled feta, and drizzle with remaining glaze just before serving.
