Description
These Easy Roasted Cabbage Steaks are a healthy, simple, and flavorful side dish that transforms humble cabbage into a crispy, savory delight. Perfect for pairing with any meal or enjoying on their own as a light, plant-based snack.
Ingredients
- 1 medium head of cabbage
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika (optional for smokiness)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh lemon juice (optional, for finishing)
- Fresh herbs (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Remove any tough outer leaves from the cabbage, trim the stem, and slice the cabbage into 1-inch thick steaks, ensuring the core stays intact.
- Arrange the cabbage steaks on the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Use your hands or a brush to coat both sides of the cabbage evenly.
- Roast the cabbage in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through. Roast until golden brown, crispy on the edges, and tender in the center.
- After roasting, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the cabbage steaks and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
- Serve immediately as a side dish or snack.
Notes
- If you prefer a slightly spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or chili powder to the seasoning mix.
- For a cheesy variation, sprinkle grated cheese on top in the last 5 minutes of roasting.
- For extra flavor, drizzle with balsamic glaze before serving or toss the cabbage with rosemary, thyme, or oregano before roasting.
- Red cabbage can be used for a sweeter flavor and a vibrant color.
