You don’t need a deep-fat fryer for the crispiest little snacks around; let the indoor grill do the work! Try this marinara over ziti or bow-tie pasta for a delicious side dish, too. —Steve Foy, Kirkwood, Missouri

Let me start by saying I'm not a huge zucchini fan. I usually need quite a bit of flavor from other ingredients for my zucchini. This recipe did not have the added flavor I needed. I felt like I was eating cardboard. The marinara sauce was very good but just not enough to make this recipe ok for me.

This is absolutely wonderful, easy and delicious. I work with developmentally disabled adults who not only make this with minimal assistance (we cook the zucchini in the oven) but then love getting in their healthy veggies this way.

Very easy to make. I work with developmentally disabled adults, who made the recipe with very little assistance but they cut the zucchini julienne style. It was a hit, even the ones that do not normally like vegetables liked this. The staff loved this too and many took the recipe to make at home
