Enjoy a simple yet flavorful dish with these Baked Cabbage Steaks. Perfect as a side dish or a light main course, these cabbage steaks are seasoned and roasted to perfection.
📋 Ingredients:
- 🥬 1 large head of cabbage
- 🧈 1/4 cup olive oil or melted butter
- 🧄 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 🧂 1 teaspoon salt
- 🌿 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 🌿 1 teaspoon paprika
- 🍋 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 🌿 1 teaspoon dried thyme or rosemary (optional)
- 🧀 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
📝 Directions:
Prepare the Cabbage Steaks:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Remove any loose or tough outer leaves from the cabbage. Cut the cabbage into 1-inch thick slices, creating “steaks.”
- In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil (or melted butter), minced garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, lemon juice, and dried thyme or rosemary (if using).
Season and Bake:
- Place the cabbage steaks on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
- Brush the garlic oil mixture generously over each cabbage steak, ensuring they are well coated.
- If using, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top of each steak for an added layer of flavor.
Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges of the cabbage are crispy and the centers are tender. You may need to rotate the baking sheet halfway through for even cooking.
Serve:
- Remove from the oven and let the cabbage steaks cool slightly.
- Serve warm as a side dish or a light main course.
