Description

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 small cabbage heads
  • 3 tbsp. olive oil
  • ½ tsp. salt or to taste
  • 2 tsp. paprika
  • 1 tbsp. garlic powder


Instructions

  1. Prepare the cabbage: Cut the stems off the cabbage heads. Slice each cabbage in half, then in half again, resulting in four thick cabbage slices about ¾ to 1 inch thick from each head.
  2. Arrange on baking sheet: Place the cabbage steaks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them to allow even cooking.
  3. Season the first side: Brush each cabbage steak thoroughly with olive oil. Sprinkle generously with salt, garlic powder, and paprika.
  4. Season the other side: Flip the cabbage steaks over and repeat brushing with olive oil and seasoning. Optionally, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to each one for some heat.
  5. Bake the cabbage steaks: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Bake the cabbage steaks for about 25 minutes until the leaves are browned, edges become crispy, and the centers are tender.
  6. Serve: Serve the roasted cabbage steaks hot straight from the oven as a snack or side dish.
