Oven Roasted Garlic Cabbage Steaks

INGREDIENTS

• 1 large green or red cabbage
• 3 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter for a richer flavor
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt adjust to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• grated Parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, or fresh parsley

INSTRUCTIONS

1. 1 Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
2. 2 Remove any wilted or damaged outer leaves from the cabbage. Using a sharp knife (I use imarku chef knife made from Japanese steel), slice the cabbage into ¾-inch thick rounds or “steaks.” Be careful to keep the core intact — it holds the steaks together.
3. 3 In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
4. 4 Brush this flavorful mixture generously onto both sides of each cabbage steak. Ensure every inch is coated for maximum flavor.
5. 5 Place the cabbage steaks on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, leaving space between each steak. Roast them in the oven for 25–30 minutes, flipping them halfway through.
