Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 1 large green or red cabbage
Seasoning and Oil
- 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: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent the cabbage steaks from sticking during roasting.
- 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, keeping the core intact to hold the steaks together.
- Make Seasoning Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create an evenly flavored oil mixture.
- Brush Steaks: Generously brush the seasoning mixture onto both sides of each cabbage steak, ensuring full coverage for maximum flavor infusion.
- Arrange and Roast: Place the cabbage steaks on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, leaving some space between each. Roast in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping the steaks halfway through cooking to ensure even roasting and caramelization.
- Serve: Optionally sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, or fresh parsley before serving for enhanced flavor and presentation.
Notes
- Keep the cabbage core intact when slicing to help the steaks hold their shape during roasting.
- You can substitute olive oil with melted butter for a richer flavor.
- Adjust seasoning amounts according to personal taste.
- Flip the cabbage steaks halfway through roasting to promote even cooking and browning.
- Optionally add toppings like Parmesan cheese or fresh herbs to add more layers of flavor.
