Main Ingredients
- 1 head of firm, round green or Savoy cabbage
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- Prepare the Cabbage: Remove any loose or damaged outer leaves from the cabbage head. Place the cabbage on a sturdy cutting board and slice into ¾-inch thick rounds, making sure to keep the core attached in each slice so the steaks hold their shape during roasting.
- Season the Steaks: Lay the cabbage slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil. Brush both sides of each steak generously with olive oil. Evenly sprinkle salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika over the tops of the steaks.
- Roast to Perfection: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the cabbage steaks for 20-25 minutes, flipping them gently halfway through. Roast until the edges are caramelized and crispy while the cores remain tender.
- Garnish and Serve: Once roasted, garnish the cabbage steaks with fresh herbs, a drizzle of lemon juice, or your choice of toppings. Serve immediately while warm and crisp.
Notes
- Slice cabbage steaks evenly to ensure uniform cooking and caramelization.
- Roast at high heat to achieve crispy edges without drying out the centers.
- Flip the steaks gently halfway through roasting to get both sides golden.
- Do not overcrowd the baking sheet; leave space between steaks for even roasting.
- Experiment with additional spices such as cumin, curry powder, or lemon zest for extra flavor.
