Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 head of cabbage, cut into 1-inch thick slices
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s at the right temperature for roasting the cabbage evenly and developing a crispy texture.
- Prepare Cabbage Slices: Cut the head of cabbage into 1-inch thick slices and arrange them on a baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil evenly over the slices to promote browning and add flavor.
- Season: Sprinkle salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika on all sides of the cabbage slices to infuse bold, smoky flavors.
- Roast Cabbage: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through for even cooking. Roast until the cabbage is golden brown and crispy on the edges.
- Add Parmesan (Optional): If using Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it over the cabbage steaks and return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes or until the cheese melts and bubbles.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm as a nutritious and flavorful side dish to complement any meal.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, make sure the cabbage slices are cut uniformly.
- Adjust seasoning to your taste, adding chili flakes for heat if desired.
- These steaks are best served fresh out of the oven but can be reheated in a toaster oven to retain crispiness.
- Use a rimmed baking sheet to catch any drips from the cheese or oil.
- Can be made vegan by omitting the Parmesan cheese or using a dairy-free alternative.
