Directions
Position oven rack in upper third; preheat to 425°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil and coat with cooking spray.
Remove leaves and trim stems of cauliflower. Cut each head in half lengthwise; trim the sides to create 2 (1-inch-thick) “steaks” from each head. Arrange the cauliflower steaks on the prepared baking sheet; reserve the trimmed florets for another use.
Stir oil, garlic, Italian seasoning and pepper together in a small bowl. Brush the mixture evenly over the cauliflower steaks. Bake until browned and tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
Remove from oven; top evenly with marinara, mozzarella, tomatoes, onion, artichokes and crushed red pepper.
Bake until the mozzarella is melted and browned in spots, about 15 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and top with basil.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
