Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 lb cabbage (2 medium heads; green or white cabbage)
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 0.3 oz garlic (3 cloves, grated or minced)
  • 0.1 oz fresh thyme (1 Tbsp, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400ºF (200ºC) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare Cabbage: Remove any loose, shriveled, or darkened outer leaves from the cabbage heads. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the cabbage into thick steaks about ¾ to 1 inch thick, making sure the slices are as even as possible for uniform cooking.
  3. Make Seasoning: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, grated or minced garlic, salt, smoked paprika, and black pepper until well combined. This flavorful mixture will coat the cabbage steaks.
  4. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Lay out the cabbage slices on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not overlapping to allow even roasting.
  5. Brush Seasoning: Using a pastry or silicone brush, generously brush the seasoning mixture over both sides of each cabbage steak to ensure each slice is well flavored.
  6. Roast Cabbage: Roast the seasoned cabbage steaks in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway if desired, until they are tender and golden brown on both sides.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Optionally sprinkle the roasted cabbage steaks with fresh thyme leaves for a fragrant and tasty finish. Serve warm as a flavorful side dish.
