Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 large green or red cabbage
- 3 tablespoons olive oil (or melted butter for a richer flavor)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Optional Toppings
- Grated Parmesan cheese
- Red pepper flakes
- Fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it to prevent the cabbage steaks from sticking during roasting.
- Prepare Cabbage Steaks: Remove any wilted or damaged outer leaves from the cabbage. Using a sharp knife, slice the cabbage into ¾-inch thick rounds or “steaks,” making sure to keep the core intact so the steaks hold together.
- Make Seasoning Mixture: In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a flavorful coating.
- Season Cabbage Steaks: Brush the seasoning mixture generously onto both sides of each cabbage steak, ensuring complete coverage for maximum flavor infusion.
- Roast Cabbage Steaks: Arrange the seasoned steaks in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each. Roast in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even browning and tenderness.
Notes
- You can swap olive oil for melted butter to add a richer taste.
- Try adding your favorite herbs or spices like rosemary or chili powder for variation.
- Serve topped with freshly grated Parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, or fresh parsley for added flavor and texture.
- Keep the cabbage core intact during slicing to hold the steaks together while roasting.
- Adjust salt and pepper to taste according to your preference.
