Place tuna in gallon bag and coat well. Remove tuna from bag and place on
skewer and alternate with zucchini and onion, you should have 3 of each on
skewer (12" skewer is best).
Slice zucchini into 2-3 strips, place on cookie sheet coated with cooking
spray and roast in 500 degree oven for 5-7 minutes or until nicely browned
around the edges. Pull from oven, slice into 1" squares for skewer.
Place skewers on prepared grill (coated with cooking spray) and grill about
5 minutes on each side or until tuna is cooked to desired doneness. Place on
