Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 2 heads small Cabbage (small heads for best size and tenderness)
- 3 tbsp Olive oil (for drizzling)
- 0.5 tsp Salt (or to taste)
- 2 tsp Paprika (for smoky flavor)
- 1 tbsp Garlic powder (for added flavor)
- 1 pinch Red pepper flakes (for a kick of spice)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cabbage: Start by cutting off the stems of the cabbage heads. Slice each head in half, then cut each half again to create four thick slices from each head, resulting in evenly sized cabbage steaks.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the cabbage steaks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil, making sure there is space between each steak for even roasting.
- Season One Side: Drizzle olive oil generously over the cabbage steaks to coat them well. Sprinkle with salt, garlic powder, and paprika to add flavor.
- Season the Other Side: Carefully flip each cabbage steak over and repeat the drizzling of olive oil and sprinkling of salt, garlic powder, and paprika to season evenly on both sides. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for some heat.
- Roast: Place the baking sheet in the oven preheated to 400°F (204°C). Roast the cabbage steaks for about 25 minutes until the edges turn crispy and brown while the centers become tender.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving your savory roasted cabbage steaks as a perfect vegetable side or a healthy main dish.
Notes
- Using small cabbage heads yields more tender and manageable cabbage steaks.
- If you prefer less spice, reduce or omit the red pepper flakes.
- For added flavor, sprinkle freshly chopped herbs such as parsley or thyme after roasting.
- These can be served alongside meats, grains, or as a vegetarian main dish.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
