Roasted Cabbage Steaks

If you’ve never roasted cabbage before, you’re in for a treat. These Roasted Cabbage Steaks are tender on the inside, crispy and golden on the edges, and full of deep, savory flavor. My grandmother would simmer cabbage into soups, but roasting it? That’s a game-changer I discovered in my own kitchen, and it quickly became a family favorite.

Perfect as a vegetarian main dish, hearty side, or even a meal prep star—this is cabbage like you’ve never had it before.

🌟 Why You’ll Love Roasted Cabbage Steaks

• Crispy edges: Like the best roasted Brussels sprouts, but easier to make.
• Minimal effort: Just slice, season, roast—and done!
• Versatile: Works as a side or the star of your plate.
• Low-carb & gluten-free: Naturally healthy and diet-friendly.

🥬 Ingredients

• 1 large green cabbage
• 2–3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• Fresh parsley or grated Parmesan (optional for garnish)
• Lemon wedges for serving

🔥 Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Cabbage

• Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
• Remove any damaged outer leaves from the cabbage.
• Slice the cabbage into ¾- to 1-inch thick rounds (about 4–6 “steaks”).

Step 2: Season the Steaks

• Arrange the cabbage slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
• Drizzle with olive oil and season with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
• Use your hands or a brush to ensure even coating.

Step 3: Roast

• Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy on the edges and fork-tender in the center.

Step 4: Serve

• Garnish with parsley or Parmesan and a squeeze of fresh lemon if desired.

🔁 Substitutions & Variations

• Spicy: Add red pepper flakes or a dash of cayenne.
• Cheesy: Sprinkle with feta, goat cheese, or mozzarella before serving.
• Asian-style: Drizzle with sesame oil and soy sauce, then top with sesame seeds.
• Balsamic glaze: Add a balsamic reduction drizzle after roasting for a sweet-savory boost.

🧊 Storage Tips

• Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
• Reheat: Warm in a hot skillet or oven for best texture. Microwave if needed, but it won’t stay crispy.
• Meal prep tip: Roast a batch early in the week and add to grain bowls, wraps, or salads.

🍴 Perfect Pairings

• Main dish match: Serve alongside grilled chicken, tofu, or salmon.
• Starch side: Pair with roasted sweet potatoes or wild rice.
• Saucy friends: Try with tzatziki, hummus, or a garlicky yogurt sauce.

❓ FAQ: Roasted Cabbage Steaks

Can I use red cabbage?
Yes! It’s just as tasty, though the color will darken more when roasted.

Do I need to flip them?
Flipping ensures both sides get that golden crisp, but it’s optional if you like a softer bottom.

Can I make these in the air fryer?
Absolutely! Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 10–12 minutes, flipping once halfway.

Are they freezer friendly?
Not really. The texture won’t hold up well after freezing.
