Sprinkle the zucchini with salt and pepper. Place the flour in a large bowl and lightly dredge the zucchini slices in the flour. Shake off any excessive flour. Turn the heat on the stove down to medium-high and place the zucchini slices in the oil to fry. Cook for one and a half minutes on each side, and then transfer to a paper towel to drain.

Arrange the zucchini slices in a baking dish or cast-iron skillet. Layer the marinara on top, followed by the parmesan cheese, fresh basil, and mozzarella. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden.
