Here’s a simple and delicious way to make cabbage steaks — crispy on the outside, tender inside, and full of flavor:
Ingredients:
- 1 large head of cabbage
- 3 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
- 2–3 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 teaspoon garlic powder)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Optional: paprika, chili flakes, or Parmesan cheese
Instructions:
- Preheat oven:
- 400°F (200°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Slice the cabbage:
- Remove outer leaves and cut the cabbage into ¾–1 inch thick slices (“steaks”). Keep the core intact so slices hold together.
- Season:
- Brush both sides with olive oil or butter.
- Sprinkle with garlic, salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings.
- Bake:
- Place on the tray in a single layer.
- Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until edges are golden and slightly crispy.
- Serve:
- Serve hot as a side or light main dish.
Tips:
- Add grated cheese in the last 5 minutes for a crispy, cheesy top.
- For extra flavor, drizzle with lemon juice or a simple yogurt sauce before serving.
- You can also cook them in a pan for a more caramelized crust.
If you want, I can give a spicy version, a garlic butter upgrade, or even an air fryer method for cabbage steaks.
