Description

Oven Roasted Garlic Cabbage Steaks are a healthy, flavorful way to enjoy cabbage, seasoned with garlic, smoked paprika, and thyme, and roasted until crispy on the edges and tender inside.


Ingredients

  • 1 large green (or red) cabbage
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil (or melted butter)
  • 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, red pepper flakes, fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 °F (200 °C) or air fryer to 375 °F (190 °C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Remove damaged leaves from cabbage and slice into ¾–1″ thick rounds, keeping the core intact.
  3. In a bowl, whisk olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  4. Brush both sides of each cabbage steak with the seasoned oil mixture.
  5. Place steaks on the sheet in a single layer.
  6. For oven: Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until edges are golden and crispy. For air fryer: Cook for 10–15 minutes, flipping halfway.
  7. Remove and sprinkle with optional toppings like Parmesan, red pepper flakes, or parsley. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Don’t overcrowd the pan to keep edges crispy.
  • Use red cabbage for a vibrant twist.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in the oven or air fryer for best texture.
  • Top with sautéed mushrooms or creamy sauce for extra flavor.
