Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
Cut the cauliflower into small florets. Cut the zucchini and red bell pepper into thin slices.
In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets, zucchini slices, and bell pepper slices with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Spread the vegetables evenly in a large baking dish and place it in the preheated oven. Roast for 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the gratin sauce. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream, minced garlic, and dried oregano. Heat until the garlic is fragrant and the cream is warm, about 5 minutes.
After 20 minutes of roasting, remove the vegetables from the oven and pour the warm cream mixture over them.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan and shredded mozzarella cheeses evenly over the top of the vegetables.
Return the baking dish to the oven and bake for another 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and starts to turn golden brown.
Remove the gratin from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
