Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 medium-large green cabbage
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- Optional: fresh ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Cabbage Steaks: Remove any loose, dark outer leaves from the cabbage. Slice the cabbage into 1-inch thick slices from top to bottom, yielding about 6 to 8 thick steaks.
- Make Seasoning Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and smoked paprika. Stir well to create a flavorful brushing mixture.
- Brush Cabbage Steaks: Arrange the cabbage steaks on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each side generously with the seasoned olive oil mixture, making sure both sides are coated evenly.
- Roast First Side: Roast the cabbage steaks in the oven for 20 minutes until lightly browned and starting to caramelize.
- Flip and Roast Other Side: Carefully flip each cabbage steak using a large spatula and return them to the oven for an additional 10 minutes, or until the centers are tender and fully cooked.
- Serve: Optionally sprinkle with fresh ground black pepper. Serve the cabbage steaks hot as a delicious side dish. Leftovers can be stored for 3-4 days and reheated in the microwave, oven, or air fryer.
