Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 head Cabbage (Fresh and firm)
- 4 cloves Garlic (Minced)
Seasonings and Toppings
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (For roasting)
- 1 teaspoon Salt (Sea salt for extra kick)
- 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper (Freshly cracked)
- 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese (Skip for vegan option)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Herbs (Chopped parsley or thyme)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice (For brightness)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the cabbage steaks, ensuring they cook evenly and get that perfect caramelized texture.
- Prepare the Cabbage: Remove any loose outer leaves from the cabbage and cut it into 1-inch thick slices to create the ‘steaks’. Keep the slices intact so they hold together during roasting.
- Season the Cabbage: Place the cabbage steaks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush both sides generously with olive oil. Sprinkle minced garlic, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper evenly over each slice.
- Add Cheese and Herbs: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the cabbage steaks to add a rich, savory flavor. Scatter fresh chopped herbs such as parsley or thyme on top for an aromatic touch.
- Roast: Roast the cabbage steaks in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even browning and a tender texture with crisp edges.
- Finish with Lemon: Remove from the oven and drizzle fresh lemon juice over the roasted cabbage steaks to brighten the flavors just before serving.
- Serve: Serve the garlic cabbage steaks warm as a delicious side dish or a light vegetarian main course.
Notes
- For a vegan version, omit the Parmesan cheese or substitute with a vegan cheese alternative.
- Use fresh herbs like parsley or thyme according to your preference for best flavor.
- If you like spicy food, add a pinch of red chili flakes before roasting.
- Serve immediately for the best texture; leftovers can be reheated but may soften.
