Ingredients
- 2 small green cabbage heads
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- Red pepper flakes, optional
Instructions
- Prepare the Cabbage: Cut the stem end off each cabbage. Slice each head in half, then cut each half again to create thick steaks about ¾ to 1 inch wide.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the cabbage steaks on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each piece for even roasting.
- Season the First Side: Brush the cabbage steaks generously with olive oil. Sprinkle evenly with salt, paprika, and garlic powder.
- Flip and Season Again: Carefully flip each cabbage steak. Brush with more olive oil and repeat the seasoning. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes if desired.
- Roast the Cabbage: Bake in a preheated 400°F oven for about 25 minutes, until the edges are browned and crispy and the centers are tender.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve hot as a main dish or flavorful side.
Notes
Choose fresh, firm cabbage with tightly packed leaves for best results. Do not skip the oil, as it helps the cabbage roast evenly and prevents burning. Always season both sides to build full flavor. For extra variety, try different spice blends or finish with a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.
