FAQs

Can I use green or red cabbage for this recipe?

Yes, both green and red cabbage work well. Red cabbage will add a vibrant color and slightly sweeter flavor, while green cabbage is milder and more traditional.

How do I know when the cabbage steaks are done?

The cabbage should be tender when pierced with a fork and have browned, caramelized edges. If they’re still firm, roast them a bit longer until the desired tenderness is reached.

Ingredients

• 1 Small head of cabbage (about 1.5 to 2 pounds), cut into 1-inch thick slices
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 1/2 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 3/4 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) to ensure it’s ready to roast the cabbage steaks evenly.
2. Prepare Cabbage: Slice the small head of cabbage into 1-inch thick rounds, aiming to keep the slices intact as much as possible for the steak effect. Arrange the cabbage slices on a sheet pan in a single layer.
3. Season Cabbage: Rub each cabbage steak evenly with olive oil on all sides. Sprinkle the garlic powder, smoked paprika, kosher salt, and black pepper onto both sides of the cabbage slices for bold, smoky, and savory flavor.
4. Roast First Side: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and roast the cabbage steaks for 30 minutes, allowing the edges to caramelize and develop a slightly crispy texture.
5. Flip and Continue Roasting: Carefully flip each cabbage steak over to roast the other side. Continue roasting for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender and cooked through but still holds its shape.
6. Serve: Remove the roasted cabbage steaks from the oven. Serve warm as a delicious and nutritious side dish or a light vegetarian entrée. Enjoy!
