Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium head green cabbage (about 2–3 lbs)
- 2–3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (or avocado oil)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Optional: ½ teaspoon onion powder
- Optional: ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (for a touch of heat)
Instructions
- Step 1: Prep the Oven and Pan. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Step 2: Slice Cabbage Steaks. Remove any loose outer leaves from the cabbage. Place cabbage stem-side down and slice into ¾ to 1-inch thick rounds, keeping the core intact to hold the slices together.
- Step 3: Season Cabbage. Arrange cabbage steaks on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle evenly with olive oil, then sprinkle generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika (and any optional seasonings). Rub the seasonings into both sides of each steak.
- Step 4: Roast. Ensure cabbage steaks are in a single layer with space between them. Roast for 15-20 minutes.
- Step 5: Flip and Finish. Carefully flip each cabbage steak. Continue roasting for another 15-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and slightly crispy, and the center is fork-tender. Serve immediately and enjoy!
