Ingredients
Scale
For the Cabbage Steaks
- 1 head of green cabbage
- 1 teaspoon (3 g) kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon (2 g) garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ cup (60 ml) extra-virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Heat the Oven: Adjust the oven rack to the middle position and preheat your oven to 400ºF (204ºC). Line a large sheet pan with olive oil or lightly grease it with olive oil to ensure the cabbage steaks don’t stick during roasting.
- Slice the Cabbage: Use a large knife to trim the bottom of the cabbage core to create a stable base. Remove any loose outer leaves, then slice the cabbage lengthwise into 1-inch thick steaks. Arrange the cabbage steaks in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan to roast evenly.
- Season the Cabbage: In a small bowl, combine kosher salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Brush each side and the edges of the cabbage steaks generously with extra-virgin olive oil and then sprinkle evenly with the seasoning mixture. Make sure to flip the steaks and season both sides well.
- Roast: Place the sheet pan in the oven and roast the cabbage steaks for 35 to 40 minutes. Halfway through cooking, rotate the pan for even roasting. The cabbage is done when its edges turn a deep golden brown and the centers become tender. For extra flavor and moisture, you may brush additional olive oil on the steaks during the roasting process. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if desired before serving.
Notes
- Use a sharp knife to ensure clean cuts and prevent the cabbage from falling apart.
- For more texture contrast, you can broil the cabbage steaks for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end of roasting.
- Try adding other spices like smoked paprika or chili flakes for a different flavor profile.
- Leftover roasted cabbage steaks store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and can be reheated in the oven or a skillet.
