Sometimes I brush with BBQ sauce. Always after the salt and pepper we load it up with Parmesan cheese.  I have yet to see the cheese angle in any recipe on the net. Never grill squash without it. 
Also, the thing that I do differently is to put the half pieces on the grill to cook at medium to hot heat, adjusting as necessary. I don't flip them. When you see the top bubbling they are done. Do the heat right and you won't scorch the bottom too badly. It's kinda like the old trick of putting a lighter under a styrofoam cup of water. The thing never catches fire. So there.

We use mex mix cheese with Italian seasoning.  Great taste.  Add some bacon bits rather then the Italian seasoning for a real treat.

This was delish!  I agree with the Parmesan cheese grilled on at the last minute. Here’s a picture that shows the final product.

WAY too much red pepper.  I would use less than half the amount called for. Giving a measurement for thickness on the zucchini would be nice.  Not all that impressed, but it’s ok with some tweaking.

Un- be-ieveable!!! I nabbed some fresh basil I had growing on my porch. Y.U.M.!
