Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 medium-large green cabbage
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- optional: fresh ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
- Prepare Cabbage: Remove any loose, dark leaves from the cabbage. Slice the cabbage into 1-inch thick slices from top to bottom (root end). You will get 6-8 steaks from one head.
- Make Seasoning: In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and smoked paprika. Stir well to mix the flavors.
- Season Cabbage Steaks: Arrange the cabbage steaks on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each side generously with the seasoned olive oil mixture.
- Roast First Side: Roast the cabbage steaks in the oven for 20 minutes, until they start to turn lightly browned and caramelized.
- Flip and Roast Second Side: Carefully flip each steak using a large spatula and roast for another 10 minutes or until the center of each cabbage steak is tender and cooked through.
- Finish and Serve: Remove from oven, sprinkle with fresh ground black pepper if desired, and serve hot. Store leftovers for 3-4 days and reheat in the microwave, air fryer, or oven until warmed through.
Notes
- This recipe uses simple ingredients but creates deep, complex flavors through roasting.
- You can adjust the seasoning by adding other spices like cumin, chili powder, or herbs if desired.
- Make sure to slice the cabbage steaks evenly for even cooking.
- Leftover steaks are great reheated and can be incorporated into salads or sandwiches.
- Using parchment paper helps prevent sticking and makes cleanup easier.
