🔪 How to Make Cabbage Steaks
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Cut the stem off the bottom of a head of cabbage, then peel away a couple of the outer leaves if they are loose, browned or damaged.
With the stem side flat on your cutting board, slice the cabbage into thick slices. For this recipe for cabbage steaks, you want your slices about 3/4” or so. You can slice them thinner if you prefer a bit more caramelization.
Place each cabbage steak onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, or two depending on the size of your cabbage. I ended up with 8 steaks, so I used two baking sheets.
In a small mixing bowl, add in the olive oil, salt, pepper, smoked paprika and garlic powder.
Whisk to combine.
Brush both sides of each cabbage steak with the seasoned oil, then bake for 20 minutes.
Increase the temperature to 450°F and bake for another 5 minutes or until the edges are cooked to your liking. Once you remove the roasted cabbage slices from the oven, brush them with the melted butter, sprinkle with the fresh parsley and serve.
