Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium head green cabbage
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Chef's Knife
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Remove the loose outer leaves from the cabbage. Slice the cabbage from top to bottom into 1-inch thick steaks, keeping the core intact to hold the slices together.
  3. Arrange the cabbage steaks on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, kosher salt, and black pepper.
  4. Roast in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges are crispy and the center is tender.

Notes

  • Storage: Leftover Cabbage Steaks can be kept in the fridge for up to three days. Store them in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
  • Freezing: You can freeze Cabbage Steaks before roasting. Just ensure they are well-wrapped to avoid freezer burn, and roast directly from frozen.
  • Pairing: These steaks pair beautifully with grilled vegetables, a fresh salad, or even as a side next to your favorite protein.
  • Seasonal Variations: During different seasons, consider adding seasonal spices or sides. In fall, a sprinkle of nutmeg could be delightful.
  • Garnishing: Top your Cabbage Steaks with a drizzle of balsamic glaze or a sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan (if not vegetarian) for added flavor.
  • Serving Ideas: Serve as a standalone dish or as part of a larger meal. They make a great addition to a barbecue or a cozy family dinner.
