Here’s a simple and flavorful Roasted Cabbage Steaks recipe—crispy on the edges, tender inside, and perfect as a side or vegetarian main. 🥬🔥
Roasted Cabbage Steaks
Ingredients (Serves 2–4)
- 1 medium green cabbage
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika (optional for smoky flavor)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Optional toppings: grated Parmesan, fresh herbs, balsamic glaze
Instructions
1. Prepare the Cabbage
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Remove outer leaves of cabbage.
- Slice cabbage into 1-inch thick “steaks”.
- Some leaves may fall off—roast them too!
2. Season
- Brush both sides of each cabbage steak with olive oil.
- Sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
3. Roast
- Place cabbage steaks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Roast 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until edges are golden brown and slightly crispy.
4. Serve
- Sprinkle with Parmesan, fresh parsley, or a drizzle of balsamic glaze if desired.
- Serve as a side dish or plant-based main.
Tips
- Don’t overcrowd the pan—give each steak some space to crisp.
- For extra flavor, add a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.
- Leftovers reheat well in a skillet for 2–3 minutes to regain crispiness.
