Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cauliflower florets
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  2. In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

  5. Sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese evenly over the sauce.
  6. Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil if desired before serving.
