If you grow zucchini you know it's best when young and small. However it grows so fast that sometimes you end up with huge zucchini - 15 to 20 inches long and 12 inches around. These are perfect for this recipe.

My husband is the grill master in our family and I wanted to make this for lunch one day. I melted the butter and garlic in a large skillet. Sauteed the zucchini for about 10 minutes or so on medium. Then put them in a baking dish topped with pizza sauce and cheese then put in the oven for 6 minutes at 350 degrees. Read More

Large seeds in overgrown zucchini were tough and difficult to chew. A disappointment. Read More

Yummy! I really liked these. I baked them instead of grilling. I sliced the zucchini and my daughter topped with sauce pepperoni and cheese and threw them in the oven until cheese melted and zucchini was tender. I ate everyone of these!! Read More

I absolutely loved these! I would modify the recipe slightly though. There was too much butter and I even cut down the amount that was called for in the recipe already. It just needs a very light coating of butter to keep it from sticking. I also added Parmesan cheese pizza seasoning & a pepperoni on the top. Read More

A nice light (and not too fattening) way to start a meal. Also a really good late night snack. Read More

What a great idea to use up those "monster" zuchini from the garden! I also added some hot pepper flakes to the butter/garlic.........they came out great! Would make again unfortunately my kids have yet to like zuchini even this way. Oh well their loss! Read More

These were great! I did make a few changes....I didn't feel like starting up the grill for these only so I lined a baking sheet with foil and put a cooling rack on top of the foil. I dipped the zucchini in the garlic butter (both sides) and laid on top of the cooling rack. Then I made sure to put the little pieces of garlic on each slice. I put my oven on broil (high) and let them cook for a few minutes and then flipped them. I did not have any tomato sauce in the house but I did have tomatoes. So I thinly sliced a tomato and topped each slice of zucchini with one. Then I returned to the oven for a few minutes. Next I topped with a turkey pepperoni and then mozzarella cheese and returned to the oven until the cheese go bubbly. It was delicious! Read More

great use of this over abundant veggie!It tasted just like a pizza slice. I passed it on to a friend and she loved it too and passed it on to her sister. Nice change from all the other "regular" uses of this veggie. Read More
