Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 head Green or Savoy Cabbage (firm with tightly packed leaves)
  • 3 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • ½ teaspoon Smoked Paprika (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Remove any outer wilted leaves from the cabbage and wash thoroughly to ensure fresh-tasting steaks with no bitterness.
  2. Slice the Cabbage: Place the cabbage on a sturdy cutting board and cut into approximately 1-inch thick rounds. You should get about 4-6 steaks depending on the cabbage size. Thick slices help them hold together during roasting.
  3. Season Generously: Arrange the cabbage steaks on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush both sides with olive oil, then evenly sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika if using. This seasoning helps draw out sweetness and develop beautiful color.
  4. Roast to Perfection: Roast the cabbage steaks in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping gently halfway through. Look for nicely caramelized edges and tender centers; the slight char enhances the flavor.
  5. Serve Immediately: Remove from oven and serve hot. Optionally garnish with fresh herbs or a drizzle of your favorite sauce. Enjoy the satisfying mix of crunchy edges and soft centers.

Notes

  • Choose firm, dense cabbage heads for cleaner slicing and sturdier steaks.
  • Use high heat (425°F) to caramelize sugars and achieve perfect browning.
  • Flip the steaks halfway through roasting to crisp both sides evenly.
  • Adjust seasoning to your taste as needed.
  • Use a sharp knife to prevent shredding or breaking the cabbage slices.
