1 can(s) 28oz. can whole tomatoes
3/4 tsp. kosher salt
black pepper to taste
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 whole medium onion, finely chopped
2 clove(s) garlic cloves, minced
2 whole jalapenos, seeded and finely chopped
2 tsp. cumin
1 lb. zucchini, diced 1/4-inch (4 cups)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Coat a shallow 2-quart baking dish with nonstick spray.
2. Place bread in a food processor and pulse until coarse crumbs form. Add garlic, oil and cheese; pulse to combine. Spread the seasoned breadcrumbs on a baking sheet and bake until beginning to brown, about 5 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, layer tomato slices in the prepared baking dish, sprinkling each layer with basil, pepper and salt. Bake the tomatoes for 10 minutes; sprinkle with the toasted breadcrumbs, and bake for 10 minutes more. Serve immediately.
4. Cut Down on Dishes: A rimmed baking sheet is great for everything from roasting to catching accidental drips and spills. For effortless cleanup and to keep your baking sheets in tip-top shape, line them with a layer of foil before each use.
