Keep oven on but remove baking sheet and let cool.
In a large bowl, combine garlic powder, red pepper flakes, oregano, basil, salt, eggs, Parmesan Romano cheese, 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, and bread crumbs. Mix together.
Once cauliflower has cooled, add this to the bowl and mix well.
Line the baking sheet with parchment paper and respray with nonstick oil, liberally.
Portion mixture into 5 toast like squares on the baking sheet.
Bake at 450*F for 15 minutes. Remove and flip, baking for an additional 12 minutes.
Remove tray from oven, place 2 spoonfuls of marinara sauce on each toast and sprinkle remaining mozzarella cheese over the top.
Place back in oven for an additional 3-5 minutes to melt cheese.
Remove once melted and let cool a few minutes.
Enjoy and top with some fresh basil!
Notes
You can use panko bread crumbs too if you don't need a gluten free choice. Also, feel free to jazz it up with your own unique toppings, like bell peppers, onions and fresh tomatoes! Recipe inspired from Joy Food to Junk Food!
