Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 medium head green cabbage
  • 2–3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Optional Spices

  • Smoked paprika (optional)
  • Garlic powder (optional)
  • Chili flakes (optional)

Optional Toppings and Variations

  • Grated Parmesan or sharp cheddar cheese (for cheesy twist)
  • Cayenne pepper or extra chili flakes (for spicy kick)
  • Fresh herbs such as thyme, rosemary, or parsley (for herb infusion)
  • Lemon juice, balsamic glaze, fresh chopped parsley or chives for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to create a hot environment ideal for browning the cabbage edges and locking in flavor.
  2. Prepare the Cabbage: Remove any loose outer leaves from the cabbage. Slice the cabbage into 3/4-inch thick rounds, ensuring the slices hold together well during roasting.
  3. Season the Steaks: Place the cabbage slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush both sides generously with olive oil and season with salt, black pepper, and any optional spices you prefer.
  4. Roast Until Tender and Caramelized: Roast the cabbage steaks in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. Flip them halfway through the cooking time to achieve even golden-brown edges and a tender interior.
  5. Serve Warm: Once perfectly roasted, serve the cabbage steaks immediately while warm and fragrant for the best texture and flavor experience. Garnish with optional herbs, a squeeze of lemon juice, or a drizzle of balsamic glaze if desired.

Notes

  • Choose a firm, dense cabbage head for cleaner cuts and better shape retention during roasting.
  • Slice the cabbage steaks uniformly about 3/4 inch thick to ensure even cooking.
  • Don’t skimp on olive oil, as it helps with caramelization and prevents sticking.
  • Flip the cabbage steaks carefully halfway through baking for even browning on both sides.
  • Monitor the oven near the end to avoid burning; aim for crisp edges, not charred.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 4 days and reheated gently.
  • Freezing is possible for up to 2 months—thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
  • Reheat in a toaster oven or skillet to maintain crispiness; avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.
