Baked cabbage steaks preheat oven

Baked Cabbage Steaks Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 medium head of green or red cabbage
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced (optional)
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp paprika or smoked paprika (optional)
• 1 tsp dried herbs (thyme, rosemary, or Italian seasoning, optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.

2. Prepare the Cabbage:

1. Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage and rinse it thoroughly.
2. Cut the cabbage into ½-inch thick slices, keeping the core intact to hold the “steaks” together.
3. Lay the slices flat on the prepared baking sheet.

3. Season the Steaks:

1. Brush both sides of each cabbage slice with olive oil.
2. Sprinkle evenly with salt, pepper, paprika, and dried herbs. Optionally, rub minced garlic over the surface for extra flavor.

4. Bake the Cabbage Steaks:

1. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
2. Bake for 20-25 minutes, then flip the cabbage steaks carefully using a spatula.
3. Continue baking for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and golden, and the center is tender.

5. Serve:
Serve the cabbage steaks warm as a side dish or main course. They pair wonderfully with roasted proteins or grains.

Tips:

• For extra flavor, drizzle balsamic glaze or sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the baked cabbage.
• Adjust seasonings to your preference or try adding a spicy kick with red pepper flakes.
