Description
Crispy edges, tender centers, and a savory garlic-infused aroma make these roasted cabbage steaks a healthy and delicious option for a quick side dish or light main course.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 head of green cabbage (or red cabbage for variation)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- Optional: smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, or grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Remove any loose or damaged outer leaves from the cabbage. Slice the cabbage into 1-inch thick rounds (steaks) and arrange them in a single layer on the baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
- Use a brush or spoon to spread the garlic mixture evenly over both sides of each cabbage steak. Add any optional seasonings if desired.
- Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping the cabbage steaks halfway through for even browning.
- Check for doneness: the edges should be crispy and golden brown, and the center should be fork-tender.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
For extra flavor, experiment with spices like cumin or curry powder. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes or in a skillet over medium heat.
