Preheat the oven to 500F.
Lay the zucchini on a baking sheet, skin side up, and bake for about 8 minutes, or until the zucchini are golden brown on the flat, fleshy side.
Let the zucchini cool slightly and then slice crosswise into half-moons.
In a bowl, mix the zucchini, mint sprigs, croutons, and toasted almonds. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, toss, and then season to taste with salt and pepper.
Arrange on a serving platter and garnish with fresh mint leaves.
