Turn oven on to 425 degrees. Let preheat, at least 10 minutes. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and warm water before cooking, and after handling raw meat and seafood. Remove all produce from any packaging or constraints, then thoroughly rinse and pat dry.
Break cauliflower into bite-sized pieces. In provided tray, combine cauliflower, garlic pepper, half the garlic salt (reserve remaining for meatballs), and 1/2 tsp. olive oil. Massage oil and seasonings into cauliflower. Push to one side of tray. -

In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, pesto, half the Italian cheese (reserve remaining for topping), remaining garlic salt, and Italian seasoning. Form into 6 equally-sized meatballs and place in empty side of tray. Cover tray with foil.
Bake covered in hot oven, 15 minutes. -

Carefully remove tray from oven and drain excess liquid. Stir half the Parmesan (reserve remaining for garnish) into cauliflower. Top meatballs with remaining Italian cheese.
Bake uncovered in hot oven until cauliflower is tender and beef reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 8-12 minutes. While meal bakes, place marinara in a microwave-safe bowl.
