Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 medium green cabbage, outer leaves removed and sliced into 1-inch thick rounds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: red pepper flakes for garnish
- Optional: grated Parmesan cheese for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) to warm up while you prepare the cabbage steaks.
- Prepare the cabbage steaks: Brush both sides of each 1-inch thick cabbage round evenly with olive oil to ensure crispiness and flavor during cooking.
- Season the steaks: In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle this seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of each cabbage steak for a balanced, smoky, and savory taste.
- Air fry the cabbage: Place the cabbage steaks in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, making sure they aren’t overlapping. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time, until the edges turn golden brown and crispy while the centers become tender.
- Serve and garnish: Remove the cabbage steaks from the air fryer carefully and serve immediately. Optionally, sprinkle with red pepper flakes for heat or grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
Notes
- For extra crispy edges, increase the air frying time by an additional 2 minutes.
- Try using red cabbage as a visually appealing and colorful variation.
- A squeeze of fresh lemon juice added just before serving brightens the flavors.
