Here’s a simple and flavorful way to make Cabbage Steaks—perfect as a side or main for a vegetarian-friendly meal:
🥬 Roasted Cabbage Steaks
🔹 Ingredients
- 1 large head of cabbage
- 2–3 tbsp olive oil
- Salt & black pepper to taste
- 1 tsp garlic powder or 2 cloves minced garlic
- Optional: smoked paprika, chili flakes, or fresh herbs (thyme, rosemary)
- Optional: parmesan or nutritional yeast for a cheesy finish
🔹 Instructions
1. Prep the cabbage
- Remove outer leaves
- Cut cabbage into 1–1.5 inch thick slices (these are your “steaks”)
- Keep the core intact so slices hold together
2. Season
- Brush both sides of each cabbage steak with olive oil
- Sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic, and any optional seasonings
3. Roast
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C)
- Arrange steaks on a baking sheet lined with parchment
- Roast 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until edges are browned and tender
4. Serve
- Optional: drizzle with balsamic glaze or squeeze fresh lemon juice
- Great alongside roasted potatoes, chicken, or grains
🔹 Tips
- Don’t overcrowd the pan—air circulation makes edges crispy
- For extra flavor, roast with halved garlic cloves around the steaks
- You can also finish under the broiler for 2–3 minutes for caramelized tops
