Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large head of cabbage (green or purple), cut into 1-inch thick slices
- 3-4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika (optional for added flavor)
- Fresh parsley or chives for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by removing the outer leaves of the cabbage. Carefully cut the cabbage into approximately 1-inch thick slices, making sure each slice stays in one piece. These are your flavorful roasted cabbage steaks.
- In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika if using. Brush this mixture generously over both sides of each cabbage steak, ensuring they are well coated with the aromatic garlic oil.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the seasoned cabbage steaks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. For easy cleanup, make sure the steaks are not overlapping.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges are crispy and caramelized, and the interior is tender. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley or chives if desired. Serve immediately for a warm, flavorful vegetable side that pairs beautifully with protein dishes like meatloaf or garlic parmesan chicken pasta.
Notes
- Use either green or purple cabbage based on your color preference or availability.
- Adjust the garlic amount for a milder or stronger garlic flavor.
- Try extra seasoning or toppings like grated Parmesan or a squeeze of lemon for variation.
