Coat 2 rimmed baking sheets with cooking spray. Slice each zucchini lengthwise into 1/4- to 1/8-inch-thick strips. Discard any small or misshapen pieces. You should have about 24 strips. Brush the strips with 3 tablespoons oil and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Place on the prepared baking sheets. Roast until softened, 20 to 25 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees. Combine tomatoes, Italian seasoning, 2 teaspoons garlic and crushed red pepper in a large bowl. Spread the mixture in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Combine ricotta, Parmesan, pepper and 1 teaspoon garlic in a medium bowl. When the zucchini is cool enough to handle, spread a generous tablespoon of the ricotta mixture on each slice. Roll up the slices and place them in the baking dish seam-side down. Bake until hot, 25 to 30 minutes. Meanwhile, place almonds, the remaining 1 teaspoon garlic and the remaining pinch of salt in a mini food processor. Process until ground to a coarse meal. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the almond mixture and cook, stirring frequently, until lightly browned and fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve the lasagna rolls topped with the almond mixture.
