The flavor of these were great. I used charcoal that was at about 200 degrees on the grill when I used it, and it needed to be warmer than that. They still tasted great, but were a little mushy from the longer cooking time. I also didn't have any fresh cilantro, but still tasted great. I also added a little bit of pepper flakes. Another great recipe, Rita!

Great recipe! I grilled 1# each of zucchini & eggplant tonight to go along with my pepper-lime chicken and simple pasta tossed in butter & fresh basil. It was perfect! Instead of quartering the zucchini, I cut it into coins approx 1/2" thick. I cut the eggplant into slices 3/4-1" thick, and they both grilled up beautifully. Being in a hurry, I just sprayed both sides of the veggies with olive oil & sprinkled the garlic & oregano on. I am glad I did let it marinate for almost an hour. I will definitely be making this again! Thanks!

Fabulous! Thanks for this recipe and for the photo that shows slicing on the diagonal. We grilled Zucch's and yellow squash along with steaks and it was all mouthwatering! :P Followed directions exactly except that I had fresh basil, so substituted it for the cilantro. This goes in the favorites list, Rita!

OMG...this was so delicious Rita! I made it for my BBQ party this weekend, and what a big hit this was, everyone just loved it. I actually marinated it for about one and a half hours, and used fresh oregano, and fresh garlic instead of garlic powder, and dried oregano but otherwise made as directed. Thank you so much Rita for a wonderful recipe, I can't wait to make this zuchinni again, we just love that veggie!...Kitten:)
