  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 head Green Cabbage (about 2–3 pounds)
  • 2–3 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black Pepper, to taste
  • Optional: Freshly grated Parmesan Cheese, for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C). A hot oven ensures beautifully browned and crispy edges on your cabbage steaks.
  2. Slice the Cabbage: Remove any tough or discolored outer leaves from the cabbage. Slice the head into thick steaks roughly 1 inch wide to help them hold their shape when roasting.
  3. Season the Cabbage Steaks: Brush both sides of each cabbage slice generously with olive oil. Evenly sprinkle garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper over each side to build savory flavor.
  4. Roast Until Crispy: Arrange the cabbage steaks on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges are golden and crispy and the centers are tender.
  5. Add Optional Toppings and Serve: Immediately after removing from the oven, sprinkle freshly grated parmesan cheese over the hot cabbage steaks if desired. Serve right away for best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Choose firm, fresh cabbage with tightly packed leaves for best texture.
  • Cut cabbage steaks evenly to ensure consistent cooking throughout.
  • Don’t skip brushing with olive oil to achieve a caramelized crust and prevent drying.
  • Use a hot oven temperature of 425°F (220°C) to get crispy edges while maintaining tender centers.
  • Flip the steaks halfway through roasting to promote even browning and prevent burning.
  • For added freshness, garnish with chopped parsley, lemon juice, or toasted nuts before serving.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
  • Reheat in a toaster oven or baking sheet in a hot oven to maintain crispiness instead of using a microwave.
