These skewers are a bright, herbaceous showstopper that proves plant-based grilling can be just as satisfying as anything else on the grate. Cannellini beans get pulsed with fresh cilantro, garlic, cumin, turmeric, and smoked paprika into compact little patties that develop a genuinely golden crust on the grill — no fillers, no flavor packets, just real spices doing real work. The zucchini rounds char up beautifully alongside them, and the whole thing gets finished with a punchy cilantro-lime drizzle made from nothing but olive oil, fresh lime juice, and herbs. Every single ingredient here is exactly what it says it is, which makes this a stress-free choice for anyone trying to avoid synthetic additives hiding in pre-seasoned or processed foods. The trick to keeping the bean patties intact is patting the beans bone-dry before processing and giving them a quick chill in the fridge — follow those two steps and they'll hold together on the skewer like a dream. Serve straight off the grill with extra lime wedges and that remaining drizzle spooned generously over the top, and you've got a dish that tastes like it came from a seriously good restaurant.

If using wooden skewers, submerge them in water for at least 15 minutes so they don't scorch on the grill.
Spread the drained white beans on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels and pat thoroughly dry — the drier the beans, the better the patties will hold together.
