Yummy!
Made this exactly as written and turned out wonderful. The Onions had the best flavor. Very easy dish to prepare ahead also.

I'm tired of grilled zucchini and this was a great recipe for a change.

instead of tomato sauce used a can of tomatoes which delivered more flavour. added some garlic too.

Love this recipe. Added 2 sliced tomatoes sliced when broiled the zucchini. And a layer of extra parmesan cheese. The onion base seems dry but the liquid from the veggies loosens the tomato bases to a lovely sauce. Really great

Dee-licious! Next time I'm going to double the onion mixture, layering it on top before adding the cheese. I know the calorie count will increase, but I don't care!!!!!

This was excellent! It went together quickly and easily and was extremely tasty. I used the leftovers for filling in a quesadilla for lunch the next day. Yummy! I'll definitely hold on to this one for when my garden is exploding with zucchini in a few weeks.

Loved this side dish. I am always looking for new ways with zucchini and this was perfect. The only change I made was to grill the zucchini--everything else I did as written.
