Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 1 medium green cabbage
Seasonings and Oil
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional Garnishes
- Fresh parsley, chopped
- Grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (350°F) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for cooking the cabbage steaks evenly.
- Prepare Cabbage: Remove any damaged or outer wilted leaves from the cabbage. Slice the cabbage into 1-inch thick rounds, commonly called steaks.
- Oil the Cabbage: Place the cabbage steaks flat on a clean surface. Generously brush both sides of each steak with olive oil to help seasoning stick and promote browning.
- Season: Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper evenly over both sides of the cabbage steaks for a well-rounded smoky and savory flavor.
- Air Fry: Arrange the seasoned cabbage steaks in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway through. This timing crisps the edges while making the centers tender and fork-ready.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the cabbage steaks and garnish with freshly chopped parsley or grated Parmesan cheese, if desired. Serve warm as a tasty, healthy side or snack.
Notes
- Ensure the cabbage steaks are cut evenly to cook uniformly.
- Flip the steaks halfway through cooking for even crispness on both sides.
- Adjust seasoning amounts to your taste preference.
- For a vegan option, skip the Parmesan garnish or use a plant-based cheese alternative.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the best texture and flavor.
