Ingredients

  • 1 medium-large green cabbage
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • optional: fresh ground black pepper
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with olive oil.
  • Remove any loose, dark leaves from the cabbage. Slice into 1 inch thick slices, cutting from the top to the bottom (or root end). You will get 6-8 steaks.
  • In a small bowl, add the olive oil, garlic, salt and smoked paprika. Stir to combine.
  • Arrange the cabbage steaks on the prepared pan. Brush the cabbage with the seasoned olive oil mixture, then flip each one over and brush the other side as well.
  • Roast in the oven for 20 minutes until lightly browned. Flip them over carefully with a large spatula, and place back in the oven for another 5-10 minutes, until the center of each cabbage steak is tender.
  • Sprinkle with fresh ground black pepper if desired and serve hot. Leftovers will keep for 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave, air fryer or oven until warm.

Notes

  1. You can use a bit less oil if needed, or use half the oil and half vegetable broth. The oil is what makes the cabbage so tender and delicious, so try not the skip it altogether.
  2. Green cabbage works best, but you can also use red cabbage.
  3. Air fryer - Pour ¼ cup of water in the bottom of the basket (underneath the grates), then place one or two steaks (coated in the sauce) in the basket. Air fry at 360ºF for 8 to 10 minutes or longer, until slightly crisp on the outside and tender in the middle. Repeat with the rest of the cabbage.
