Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°F. Slice 3 medium zucchini into 1/4-inch rounds. Toss with 1 tsp salt and let sit in a colander for 15 minutes to draw out moisture.
Step 2
Pat zucchini dry with paper towels. Brush both sides with 2 tbsp olive oil and arrange on a baking sheet. Roast for 10 minutes until slightly softened.
Step 3
Spread 1/2 cup marinara sauce in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Layer half the zucchini over the sauce.
Step 4
Top with 1 cup marinara sauce, half the mozzarella, and half the parmesan. Repeat layers with remaining zucchini, sauce, and cheeses.
Step 5
In a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup breadcrumbs with 1 cup crushed potato chips. Sprinkle evenly over the top.
Step 6
Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes until bubbly and golden brown on top. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
Step 7
Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil if desired.
