Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 head of fresh, firm green cabbage
  • 2–3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Optional Spices and Additions

  • Garlic powder (optional)
  • Smoked paprika (optional)
  • Chili flakes (optional)
  • Grated Parmesan or crumbled feta for topping (optional)
  • Cayenne pepper or red chili flakes for extra heat (optional)
  • Fresh herbs such as thyme, rosemary, or oregano (optional)
  • Balsamic reduction or maple syrup for glazing (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cabbage: Remove any loose outer leaves from the cabbage. Slice the cabbage into thick steaks approximately 3/4-inch wide, keeping the core intact to help hold the steaks together during roasting.
  2. Season the steaks: Place the cabbage slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil. Brush both sides generously with olive oil. Sprinkle evenly with salt, freshly ground black pepper, and any optional spices you prefer.
  3. Roast until crispy: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Roast the cabbage steaks for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time. The edges should become golden and crispy, while the centers remain tender but not mushy.
  4. Serve warm: Transfer the roasted cabbage steaks to a serving plate. Enjoy immediately for the best crisp texture, or reheat gently if needed.

Notes

  • Choose fresh, firm cabbage to ensure the steaks hold their shape and cook evenly.
  • Slice the cabbage steaks evenly to allow uniform roasting and prevent burning.
  • Do not overcrowd the baking sheet; leave space between the steaks for air circulation and maximum crispiness.
  • Roast at a high temperature of 425°F (220°C) for ideal caramelization and tenderness.
  • Flip the steaks carefully with a wide spatula to avoid breaking them.
  • If using cheese toppings, add them during the last 5 minutes of roasting to prevent burning.
