Prepare the cauliflower by steaming until tender, about 5-7 minutes.

Drain excess moisture from the steamed cauliflower using a clean kitchen towel.

In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower, mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, and eggs.

Mix in Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Spread the cauliflower mixture evenly in the bottom of a greased slow cooker.

Layer pizza sauce over the cauliflower base, spreading it evenly.

Add sliced bell peppers, mushrooms, and black olives on top of the sauce.

Sprinkle pepperoni slices over the vegetables.

Top with additional mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese.

Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours, until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Garnish with fresh basil before serving.

Cut into slices and serve directly from the slow cooker.
