Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 large green or red cabbage
- 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 the 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 the cabbage: Remove any wilted or damaged outer leaves from the cabbage. Using a sharp knife, slice the cabbage into ¾-inch thick rounds or “steaks.” Be careful to keep the core intact as it holds the steaks together.
- Make the seasoning mixture: In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper, mixing well.
- Coat the cabbage steaks: Brush the seasoning mixture generously on both sides of each cabbage steak, ensuring every inch is covered for maximum flavor.
- Arrange and roast: Place the cabbage steaks on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, leaving some space between each steak. Roast them in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even cooking and browning.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and optionally sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, or fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- Keep the core intact when slicing to maintain the shape of the steaks during roasting.
- Adjust seasoning quantities based on your taste preferences.
- For richer flavor, use melted butter instead of olive oil.
- Use parchment paper or a well-greased baking sheet to prevent sticking.
- Check for tenderness and adjust roasting time slightly if needed depending on cabbage size and oven variations.
