Preparation Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Slice the zucchini into thin rounds, about ¼ inch thick. Sprinkle salt over the slices and let them sit for 10 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, dried basil, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until creamy.
- Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add zucchini rounds and sauté for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.
- In a baking dish, spread a layer of marinara sauce, then a layer of zucchini slices, followed by dollops of ricotta mixture and mozzarella. Repeat, finishing with marinara and mozzarella.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil if desired.

Notes
For best results, slice zucchini thinly and don't skip salting to enhance flavor and prevent a watery dish.
