Take the Zucchini and cut them length-wise in half, making four out of two.
Take a Sharp Knife and make diagonal cuts half an inch apart which should be a quarter inch deep.

Place a little saucepan on the medium heat. Add two tablespoons of Olive Oil, Garlic, and Red Pepper flakes.
Cook until you smell the roasted garlic fragrance. Dish out the Garlic oil in a little bowl.
Take a skillet, heat one tbsp of Olive Oil, and keep two Zucchini steaks with flesh sides down and leave it for a couple of minutes or until the flesh sides turn golden brown.
Repeat the process with the remaining Zucchinis.
Take these golden-brown Zucchinis and place them on the Baking sheet with the flesh side up. Apply the pre-made Garlic Oil on the flesh side of all four Zucchini steaks.
Allow them to bake for around a dozen minutes in the already-heated oven.
Then cover the flesh side with Parmesan and Mozzarella Cheese and again bake till the cheese melts and becomes golden brown.
Then dish out the Baked Zucchini Steaks on a platter.
TIPS:
Be careful when making Garlic Oil, Garlic should not be burned or it will destroy the classic taste and fragrance of Garlic.
