How To Make Roasted Cabbage Steaks
Next time you are at the grocery store, don't pass by the cabbage heads. Pick one up! With these simple ingredients and in just a couple minutes you have a perfect side dish with great flavor.
- 1 whole green cabbage (red or savoy work too!)
- ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (not hot paprika)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 whole lemon
Let's Get Roasting!
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spray a large rimmed baking sheet with nonstick coconut oil spray.
- Remove any wilted, brown, or loose leaves from the whole head. On a cutting board, use a large sharp knife to slice the whole cabbage into 6 - 1" thick slice flat pieces. Cut down the center in half keeping the root end intact as much as possible. Then slice each half into thirds.
- Lay each slice onto the prepared baking sheet pan as you go, you will have six 1" thick slices in a single layer place steaks
- In a small bowl, add extra virgin olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Whisk well to combine.
- Brush the olive oil mixture evenly onto each of the thick slices using a small basting brush, use all the mixture and get a bit of olive oil on the surface of all the slices.
- Roast the cabbage steaks at 425 for 25-30 minutes. The edges will turn brown and crispy and darken.
- Place steaks on a warm platter, sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese and toasted pine nuts. Serve with lemon wedges, that squeeze of lemon juice is amazing! Serve warm.
- Store leftover steaks in an airtight container, reheat back on the sheet pan at 400 degrees for 10 minutes.

For the best cabbage, look for a tight, firm, brightly colored head that feels heavy for its size. Select a large or small one for your recipe.
The leaves should be crisp and not wilted. Napa cabbage should have tightly packed leaves, and not have dry ends or discoloration.
Cabbages are cruciferous vegetables and are closely related to cauliflower, kale, garden cress, bok choy, broccoli, and Brussels sprouts.
Green Cabbage is the most common variety you will find in grocery stores. One of the most versatile vegetables to use in salads, coleslaw, stir-frys, braising, or sauteing recipes.
Savoy Cabbage has beautiful curly ruffled lacy ridged leaves. The leaves are less tightly packed, and it is a bit more tender than green or red. It is delicious thinly sliced in salads, quickly stir-fried, or braised in butter.
Red Cabbage is a magenta dark purple color and tends to be a bit smaller than green cabbages. Pick tightly packed firm heads that feel heavy for their size. Slice thin for salads, braising, and stir-frys. A great recipe to use it for is pickled to top on fish tacos.
Napa Cabbage is also called Chinese or celery cabbage. It is not round like the green ones but has long light green leaves like romaine lettuce. Delicious raw, steamed, or lightly sauteed. The choice for making kimchi.
