Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare your casserole dish.
  2. Cut the cauliflower into small florets and steam for about 3 minutes until tender. Drain and pat dry.
  3. Cook the Italian sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat for about 15 minutes until browned. Drain excess fat.
  4. Sauté sliced mushrooms in the same skillet for about 10 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Spread ½ cup of marinara sauce in the prepared casserole dish and layer half of the cooked cauliflower, followed by sausage, mushrooms, and green peppers. Add more marinara and top with mozzarella.
  6. Repeat layering with remaining ingredients.
  7. Mix Parmesan with Italian seasoning and sprinkle over the casserole. Top with reserved pepperoni if using.
  8. Bake in the oven for about 30 minutes until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbling.
  9. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
