Description
Crispy, tender, and full of flavor, these oven roasted garlic cabbage steaks are a healthy vegan side dish perfect for weeknight dinners or meal prep.
Ingredients
1 large green or red cabbage
3 tablespoons olive oil (or melted butter for a richer flavor)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
½ teaspoon black pepper
Optional toppings: grated Parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, or fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Remove outer leaves from cabbage. Slice into ¾-inch thick steaks, keeping the core intact.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Brush mixture generously onto both sides of each cabbage steak.
Place steaks in a single layer on the baking sheet.
Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until edges are crispy and centers are tender.
Optional: Sprinkle with Parmesan, red pepper flakes, or parsley before serving.
Notes
For extra crispiness, broil for the last 2–3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
Red cabbage adds a vibrant color twist, but green cabbage offers a slightly sweeter taste.
Leftovers can be reheated in a toaster oven or air fryer for best texture.
