Arrange the seasoned zucchini slices on the preheated grill. Grill each side for about 2-3 minutes until grill marks appear and the zucchini is fork-tender.
Remove grilled zucchini from heat and place on a serving platter. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
Optional: Garnish with freshly chopped basil for extra flavor and visual appeal.
