Ingredients
- 1 large head of cabbage
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the cabbage: Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage and slice it into ¾ to 1-inch thick rounds to create steak-like pieces.
- Season the cabbage: Place the cabbage slices on the baking sheet in a single layer. Brush both sides with olive oil, then sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Roast: Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping the cabbage halfway through cooking. Roast until the cabbage becomes tender and the edges are golden brown.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm as a delicious side dish.
Description
Roasted cabbage steaks are tender on the inside and slightly crispy on
the outside. The roasting process enhances the cabbage’s natural sweetness
while the garlic and olive oil add rich, savory flavor. This dish is simple,
healthy, and surprisingly delicious despite using only a few ingredients.
Tips
- Cut the cabbage into even slices to ensure uniform cooking.
- Do not overcrowd the baking sheet; leave space so the cabbage roasts instead of steaming.
- Flip the cabbage carefully using a spatula to keep the slices intact.
- For extra flavor, sprinkle paprika, chili flakes, or grated cheese before serving.
Correction
- If the cabbage slices fall apart, cut them slightly thicker so the core holds the leaves together.
- If the cabbage is not browning well, roast it for an additional 5 minutes or increase the temperature slightly.
Enjoy
Serve these roasted cabbage steaks alongside grilled chicken, roasted meat,
or even as a light vegetarian main dish. Their crispy edges and rich roasted
flavor make them a satisfying addition to any meal.
