This tastes super!!! I don't have a grill right now so I baked them and they turned out great! I sliced them into half moon shapes and tossed the marinade with them on a baking sheet and baked for 17 minutes at 400 degrees F. Love this combination of flavors with zucchini, thanks!!

I used this method of cooking and it is fantastic! I did cheat a little, and only used Italian seasoning, instead of all the other ingredients. The results were delicious. I made it on my indoor electric grill, and I just loved the way the "grilled" parts tasted. And excellent method, and next time, I will use all the ingredients too!

IT'S A MIRACLE!!! I have never liked zucchini, until now. I would literally avoid a veggie mix if it had zucchini in it, but something told me to try this recipe. I am thrilled beyond belief that I did. I used enova oil instead of the olive oil and it turned out perfectly. I would up the pepper flakes the next time as I noticed NO heat whatsoever and I gave some generous shakes. Mine marinate for about 3 hours and the grilled flavor was fantastic! This is most definitely a winner! Thanks Marie!

Definitely a keeper! I had to cook under the broiler -- if you cook it this way, make sure to remove most of the excess oil to prevent flaming. Thank you for sharing!

This was really good and easy. Next time I need to cut my slices thicker!
