This recipe provides a straightforward method for making tender roasted cabbage steaks with slightly caramelized edges, finished with a simple garlic and parmesan topping. It is a reliable, low-effort side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 head green cabbage
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Remove any loose outer leaves from the cabbage. Cut the cabbage head vertically into four equal, thick slices, about 1 to 1.5 inches thick. Keep the core intact in each slice to hold the steak together.
  3. Place the cabbage steaks on the prepared baking sheet. Brush both sides of each steak lightly with olive oil. Season evenly with salt and pepper.
  4. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes. Flip the steaks halfway through the cooking time. The edges should start to brown and the center should become tender when pierced with a fork.
  5. While the cabbage roasts, mix the minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, and parsley in a small bowl.
  6. Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Sprinkle the garlic parmesan mixture evenly over the top of each roasted cabbage steak.
  7. Return the sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
  8. Serve the oven roasted cabbage steaks immediately.

Notes

  • For a balsamic glazed cabbage steak variation, drizzle 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar over the steaks before the final 5 minutes of roasting.
  • If you prefer a vegan preparation, omit the Parmesan cheese and use 1 teaspoon of nutritional yeast mixed with the garlic and parsley.
  • Cut the cabbage into thick pieces; thin slices will cook too fast and may fall apart.
