Main Ingredients
- 2 small cabbage heads
- 3 tbsp. olive oil
- ½ tsp. salt or to taste
- 2 tsp. paprika
- 1 tbsp. garlic powder
- Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cabbage: Cut the stems off the cabbage heads and then cut each one in half, then in half again. You should have four thick cabbage slices that are about ¾ to 1 inch thick from each head.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the cabbage steaks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, allowing some space between each steak for even cooking.
- Season the First Side: Brush the cabbage steaks thoroughly with olive oil, then generously sprinkle salt, garlic powder, and paprika over them.
- Season the Other Side: Flip the cabbage steaks over and repeat brushing with olive oil and sprinkling the seasonings. Optionally, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to each steak for an extra kick.
- Bake the Cabbage Steaks: Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F for about 25 minutes, until the leaves are browned, edges are crispy, and the centers are tender.
- Serve: Serve the roasted cabbage steaks hot out of the oven as a snack, side dish, or part of a larger meal.
