    Very easy to make and delicious! I didn't have lemons, so I used lemon pepper. These are even good without the cheese. I agree, I need to try this on the grill next summer. Thanks for sharing a great recipe.

    I think next time I will use the grill as suggested by BoBo. My pan was not big enough to cook all the zucchini at one time. I also like the idea of adding a little lemon juice for a stronger lemon flavor. Thanks for sharing.

    I grilled the zucchini in a grill basket and doubled the cheese because I love parmesan. Great, easy dish. Thank you.
