Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 large green or red cabbage
Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Oils and Optional Toppings:
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- Optional: grated Parmesan cheese
- Optional: red pepper flakes
- Optional: fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or a light grease coating to prevent sticking.
- Remove any damaged outer leaves from your cabbage. Slice the entire head into ¾-inch thick rounds, keeping the core intact to hold the steaks together.
- Combine 3 tablespoons of olive oil with 1 teaspoon each of garlic powder and smoked paprika, plus ½ teaspoon each of onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper in a small bowl.
- Generously brush the entire spice mixture onto both sides of your cabbage steaks, ensuring complete and even coverage for maximum flavor absorption.
- Arrange the cabbage steaks on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, leaving space between each slice for even roasting.
- Roast the cabbage steaks in the 400°F oven for 25-30 minutes, carefully flipping them midway through cooking to ensure both sides become golden and crispy.
- After removing from the oven, sprinkle with optional toppings like grated Parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, or fresh parsley for added depth and presentation.
Notes
- Slicing the cabbage carefully keeps the core intact, which helps the steaks hold their shape during roasting and ensures even cooking.
- Generously coating each steak with the seasoning blend guarantees deep flavor and prevents dryness during roasting.
- Using parchment paper or a light grease prevents sticking and makes cleanup super easy after cooking.
- Flipping the cabbage steaks midway through roasting helps achieve a beautiful golden-brown color and consistent texture on both sides.
