Description
Thick slices of cabbage roasted until golden and tender, infused with olive oil, garlic, and aromatic herbs. A simple, healthy side dish that’s crispy on the outside and melt-in-your-mouth soft on the inside.
Ingredients
- 1 large head of green cabbage
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Optional: lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Remove any loose or damaged outer leaves from the cabbage.
- Slice the cabbage into 1-inch thick rounds (steaks), keeping the core intact so they hold together.
- In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, onion powder, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Place the cabbage steaks on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each side generously with the garlic-herb oil mixture.
- Roast in the oven for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges are crispy and browned, and the center is tender.
- Remove from oven and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Serve warm, with optional lemon wedges for brightness.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving.
- Use red cabbage for a colorful twist.
- These are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in the oven to restore crispiness.
