Set the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Organize a 9 by 13-inch baking dish. In the baking dish, evenly distribute the marinara.
Slice the zucchini into a long, paper-thin strip using a mandolin slicer (or a vegetable peeler). Salt the zucchini strips liberally to aid in releasing moisture.
Ricotta, cream cheese, mozzarella, parmesan, eggs, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper should all be combined in a big bowl. Combine thoroughly after mixing.
Lay a zucchini strip on a paper towel one at a time. To eliminate extra moisture, press the cloth against the zucchini strip. Roll the zucchini strip around the cheese by placing roughly 2 teaspoons of filling on one end. After that, place the roll in the oven with the cheese facing up.
Bake the cheese for 25 minutes, or until the edges are brown. Serve hot.

For more protein, add meat sauce in place of marinara.
