Roasted Cabbage Steaks are a flavorful and easy-to-make side dish or light main course featuring thick slices of cabbage seasoned with a blend of olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, and salt, then oven-roasted until tender with golden, caramelized edges.

Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 1 small cabbage head

Seasoning

  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • ½ tsp salt or more to taste
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
  2. Prepare Cabbage: Remove any loose or damaged outer leaves from the cabbage. Cut the cabbage into thick slices, approximately 1 to 1.5 inches thick, to form the “cabbage steaks.”
  3. Make Seasoning Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, salt, paprika, and garlic powder until well combined to create a flavorful oil mixture.
  4. Brush Cabbage: Place the cabbage steaks on the prepared baking sheet and generously brush both sides with the seasoned olive oil mixture, ensuring even coverage.
  5. Roast Cabbage: Roast the cabbage steaks in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and centers are tender. Check tenderness by piercing with a fork or knife.
  6. Optional Extra Roasting: If the cabbage isn’t tender enough, continue roasting for an additional 5-10 minutes, checking periodically.
  7. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve the cabbage steaks hot as a flavorful side dish or a light vegetarian main course.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese on the cabbage steaks during the last 5 minutes of roasting. This adds a pleasant cheesy crust and savory depth.
  • Serve the cabbage steaks immediately after roasting to enjoy the perfect texture and flavor.
  • This recipe is vegetarian and can be easily adapted for different tastes by adjusting the spices.
