Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 2 small cabbage heads
Seasonings
- 3 tbsp. olive oil
- ½ tsp. salt or to taste
- 2 tsp. paprika
- 1 tbsp. garlic powder
- Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cabbage: Cut the stems off the cabbage heads and then slice each head in half, then in half again, to create four thick cabbage steaks approximately ¾ to 1 inch thick per head.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the cabbage steaks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring there is space between each piece for even cooking.
- Season One Side: Brush the cabbage steaks thoroughly with olive oil. Generously sprinkle salt, garlic powder, and paprika evenly over the oiled side.
- Season the Other Side: Flip the cabbage steaks over and repeat the oil brushing and seasoning process. Optionally, add a pinch of red pepper flakes on each steak for a hint of heat.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Bake the cabbage steaks for about 25 minutes or until the edges are crispy, the leaves are browned, and the centers are tender.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve the cabbage steaks hot as a snack or side dish.
