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 reaches the correct temperature for roasting.
- Prepare Cabbage: Slice the cabbage head into 1-inch thick rounds, creating uniform steaks for even cooking.
- Oil and Season: Arrange the cabbage slices on a baking sheet and drizzle them evenly with olive oil. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika to enhance the flavor.
- Roast: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the cabbage for 25-30 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through. Roast until the cabbage is golden brown and crispy on the edges.
- Add Parmesan (Optional): If using, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the cabbage steaks and bake for an additional 5 minutes until the cheese melts and becomes slightly bubbly.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve the cabbage steaks warm as a healthy and flavorful side dish.
Notes
- Use a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer to cut the cabbage evenly.
- Flip the cabbage carefully to avoid breaking the steaks.
- For a vegan option, omit the Parmesan cheese or use a plant-based alternative.
- Adjust seasoning according to your taste preferences; smoked paprika adds a nice smoky flavor.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven for best texture.
