Ingredients
- 1 head of green cabbage
- 1 teaspoon (3 g) kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon (2 g) garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ cup (60 ml) extra-virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Heat the Oven: Adjust the oven rack to the middle position and preheat your oven to 400ºF (204ºC). Line a large sheet pan with olive oil or lightly grease it with olive oil to prevent sticking and help with roasting.
- Slice the Cabbage: Using a large knife, trim the bottom of the cabbage core to create a stable base. Remove any loose outer leaves, then carefully slice the cabbage lengthwise into 1-inch thick steaks. Place the cabbage steaks in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan to ensure even roasting.
- Season the Cabbage: In a small bowl, combine the kosher salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Brush both the surface and sides of each cabbage steak with the extra-virgin olive oil. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the steaks, then flip them over and repeat the oil and seasoning application on the other side for full flavor coverage.
- Roast: Place the sheet pan in the oven and roast the cabbage steaks for 35 to 40 minutes. Rotate the pan halfway through cooking to promote even browning. Roast until the edges develop a deep golden brown color and the centers become tender. If desired, brush the steaks with additional olive oil during roasting and season with extra salt and pepper before serving.
Notes
- For a crisper texture, flip the cabbage steaks more than once during roasting.
- Feel free to add other seasonings such as smoked paprika, chili flakes, or fresh herbs to customize flavors.
- Use a sharp knife to cut even slices for uniform cooking.
- Leftover roasted cabbage steaks can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
