Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 large cabbage (Green cabbage is recommended.)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter (Cabbage loves fat, do not be shy.)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt (To taste.)
- 1 teaspoon black pepper (To taste.)
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (Adds a subtle BBQ vibe.)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder or fresh minced garlic (Garlic powder is easy; minced garlic adds freshness.)
Optional Toppings
- to taste lemon wedges (For serving.)
- to taste grated Parmesan (Optional, adds flavor.)
- to taste chili flakes (Optional for heat.)
Instructions
Preparation
- Heat your oven to 450°F (232°C). High heat is essential for browned edges.
- Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or foil. If using foil, apply a quick oil wipe to prevent sticking.
- Slice the cabbage into thick rounds, about 1 inch thick, ensuring you keep the core intact for stability.
- Place the cabbage steaks on the pan in a single layer without crowding.
- Brush both sides of the cabbage with olive oil, then season with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.
Cooking
- Roast in the oven for 18 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even cooking.
- Press cabbage steaks gently with a spatula after flipping for better caramelization.
- Finish with your choice of lemon, Parmesan, or any other favorite topping, and serve immediately.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness. Cabbage steaks can be topped with a variety of seasonings to enhance their flavor.
