Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 head green cabbage
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp taco seasoning
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp lime juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot enough to roast the cabbage steaks perfectly.
- Prepare the cabbage slices: Carefully cut the green cabbage into 1-inch thick slices, aiming to keep them intact as 'steaks' for even roasting.
- Mix the seasoning blend: In a small bowl, combine the olive oil and lime juice, mixing well to create a flavorful basting liquid.
- Season the cabbage: Place the cabbage steaks on a baking tray. Brush both sides with the olive oil and lime juice mixture, then dust each side evenly with the taco seasoning and salt.
- Roast the cabbage: Roast the seasoned cabbage steaks in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are browned and the cabbage is tender.
- Serve warm: Remove from the oven and serve immediately, enjoying these flavorful taco-style cabbage steaks as a main or side dish.
Notes
- Use a sharp knife to ensure clean, even slices of cabbage.
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the seasoning blend.
- These cabbage steaks pair well with salsa, guacamole, or sour cream for extra flavor.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven to retain crispness.
