Carrageenan Free Cilantro-Lime White Bean Zucchini Skewers

These vibrant skewers bring together smoky, spiced white bean patties and tender grilled zucchini rounds, all finished with a bright cilantro-lime drizzle that makes every bite feel fresh and lively. Carrageenan is a common additive lurking in canned and processed foods, but every ingredient here is clean and straightforward — whole beans, fresh herbs, olive oil, and real lime juice with nothing hidden on the label. The trick to getting those bean patties to hold their shape on the grill is patience: thorough drying, a coarse pulse in the food processor, and a quick chill in the fridge before threading them onto the skewer. Once they hit the hot grates, a golden crust forms that locks everything in place, so you get that satisfying char without any crumbling. The cilantro-lime drizzle does double duty — half goes on before grilling to build flavor, and the rest gets spooned over at the end for a punchy, herby finish. This is the kind of recipe that looks impressive enough for a backyard gathering but is genuinely simple to pull off on a weeknight. Squeeze a little extra lime over the top right before serving and you will not be disappointed.
