Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 medium green cabbage
- 3–4 garlic cloves, minced
Seasoning:
- 2–3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Optional Toppings:
- Optional: smoked paprika
- Optional: chili flakes
- Optional: grated Parmesan
- Optional: nutritional yeast
Instructions
- Chop the core end of your cabbage to create a stable base. Slice the cabbage into 1-inch thick circular rounds, keeping them intact.
- Arrange your oven rack in the center position. Preheat the oven to 400°F with a parchment-lined baking sheet ready.
- Whisk 3 tablespoons olive oil with 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper in a small mixing bowl.
- Position cabbage rounds flat on the prepared baking sheet. Generously coat each side with the garlic oil mixture using a pastry brush.
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated 400°F oven. Roast for 25 minutes, then carefully flip each cabbage steak.
- Continue roasting another 5-10 minutes until your cabbage edges turn golden brown and crispy. The center should feel tender when pierced with a fork.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle with optional smoked paprika or nutritional yeast if desired before serving.
Notes
- Slice cabbage carefully to maintain whole round shape for best presentation and even cooking.
- Use fresh garlic for maximum flavor, and don’t be shy about generously coating each cabbage steak with oil.
- Select a firm, heavy cabbage with tight, crisp leaves to ensure the best texture after roasting.
- For a dairy-free version, skip the Parmesan and try nutritional yeast or toasted pine nuts as a flavor-packed topping.
