I found this appetizer to be a bit bland. I think it could have used more seasoning. I would also recommend adding some fresh herbs, such as cilantro or parsley, to brighten up the flavors.

This appetizer was a bit too oily for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if the zucchini had been roasted instead of fried.

I love the combination of flavors in this appetizer. The zucchini is tender and flavorful, the garlic adds a nice bite, and the tahini sauce is creamy and tangy. It's the perfect appetizer for any occasion.
