Main Ingredients
- 1 medium-large green cabbage
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- Optional: fresh ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare a large rimmed baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it with olive oil.
- Prepare Cabbage: Remove any loose or dark outer leaves from the cabbage. Slice the cabbage into 1-inch thick slices from top to bottom, creating 6 to 8 steaks.
- Make Seasoning Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and smoked paprika. Stir well to mix all ingredients thoroughly.
- Season Cabbage Steaks: Arrange the cabbage steaks on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each steak generously on both sides with the olive oil seasoning mixture.
- Roast Cabbage: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the cabbage steaks for 20 minutes, until they start to brown lightly. Then, carefully flip each steak over using a large spatula and continue roasting for an additional 10 minutes until the centers are tender.
- Finish and Serve: Remove from oven and optionally sprinkle with fresh ground black pepper. Serve the cabbage steaks hot. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days and reheat as needed.
Notes
- This recipe transforms an ordinary cabbage into a rich, tender, and caramelized side dish.
- Use smoked paprika for a smoky, mildly spicy flavor that complements the cabbage well.
- Make sure to slice cabbage steaks evenly for consistent cooking.
- Leftovers can be reheated in a microwave, air fryer, or oven.
- For vegan and vegetarian diets, ensure the olive oil is used, no animal products are involved.
