  2. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, smoked paprika, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Place the zucchini slices in a large bowl or shallow dish. Pour the olive oil mixture over the zucchini, ensuring each piece is generously coated.

  2. After grilling, remove the zucchini and transfer it to a serving platter.
  3. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the grilled zucchini for extra brightness.
  4. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and, if desired, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top before serving.
