Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 1 large green or red cabbage
Seasonings & Oils
- 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). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- 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,” keeping the core intact to hold the steaks together.
- Mix seasoning: In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
- Coat the cabbage: Brush the seasoning mixture generously onto both sides of each cabbage steak, ensuring full coverage for maximum flavor.
- Arrange and roast: Place the cabbage steaks in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each. Roast in the oven for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and caramelized.
Notes
- You can substitute olive oil with melted butter for a richer taste.
- Adjust salt and spices according to your preference.
- Optional toppings like Parmesan, red pepper flakes, or fresh parsley add extra flavor and garnish.
- This recipe can also be adapted for air frying at 400°F for about 15 minutes, flipping halfway.
- Keep the core intact when slicing the cabbage to maintain the steak shape during cooking.
