Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Gather all your ingredients while the oven warms up.
- Slice your zucchinis into thin, even rounds, about ¼ inch thick. Sprinkle with salt and let sit for 10 minutes, then pat dry.
- In a bowl, mix ricotta cheese with dried basil, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until creamy.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add zucchini rounds and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until slightly golden.
- In a greased baking dish, layer marinara sauce, sautéed zucchini, ricotta mixture, and shredded mozzarella. Repeat layers and finish with marinara and mozzarella.
- Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until bubbly and golden.
- Let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil if desired.

Notes
Ensure zucchini is well-salted to draw out moisture and prevent sogginess. Slice zucchinis evenly for uniform cooking. Top with fresh basil for a vibrant presentation.
