1 Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning blend, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. Set aside.
2 Cut the head of cauliflower from the top of the head where the florets are located to the bottom of the stem into 4 thick “steaks”. Your steaks that don't contain the actual stem might fall apart, but that's ok! They can be grouped together, and the upcoming steps will help keep them together.
3 Brush 2 Tbsp of herb oil mixture on all sides of cauliflower steaks. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
4 On top of each cauliflower steak, add 2-3 slices of tomatoes. This is an important step, as the tomatoes will add great flavor and moisture and they will keep the cheeses from melting off the cauliflower, through the holes and cooking onto the baking sheet.
5 On top of the tomato slices, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly among 4 servings.
6 Then, top each portion with 2 slices of provolone cheese per cauliflower steak.
7 Bake the cauliflower in the oven for 40 minutes, or until fork tender.**
