Description
These simple roasted cabbage steaks are a restaurant-quality side dish that turns a humble vegetable into a flavorful centerpiece. By roasting thick wedges at a high temperature, the cabbage becomes beautifully caramelized on the edges and tender on the inside. Infused with fresh garlic and savory seasonings, this healthy, budget-friendly dish is the perfect, low-effort addition to any busy weeknight meal.
Ingredients
1 medium head green cabbage
4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Remove damaged outer leaves from the cabbage and trim the bottom stem slightly.
Slice the cabbage into 1-inch thick steaks, keeping the core intact.
Place cabbage steaks on the baking sheet in a single layer.
Drizzle both sides of the steaks with olive oil.
Evenly sprinkle the minced garlic, salt, and pepper over both sides.
Roast in the center rack for 25-30 minutes until edges are golden brown and crispy.
Cool for 3-5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Ensure the cabbage steaks are cut to a uniform 1-inch thickness for even cooking. Do not overcrowd the baking sheet to allow the edges to crisp properly. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
