# What You'll Gather:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
1 large green or red cabbage
02 -
3 tablespoons olive oil (or melted butter for a richer flavor)
03 -
1 teaspoon garlic powder
04 -
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
05 -
½ teaspoon onion powder
06 -
½ teaspoon dried thyme
07 -
1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
08 -
½ teaspoon black pepper
09 -
Optional toppings: grated Parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, or fresh parsley
# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 -
Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
02 -
Remove any wilted or damaged outer leaves from the cabbage. Using a sharp knife, slice the cabbage into ¾-inch thick rounds or "steaks." Be careful to keep the core intact — it holds the steaks together.
03 -
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Brush this flavorful mixture generously onto both sides of each cabbage steak. Ensure every inch is coated for maximum flavor.
04 -
Place the cabbage steaks on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, leaving space between each steak. Roast them in the oven for 25–30 minutes, flipping them halfway through. You'll know they're ready when the edges are golden brown and slightly crispy.
05 -
Remove the cabbage steaks from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes. Sprinkle optional toppings like Parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, or chopped parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy!
# Important Tips:
01 -
For air fryer method: Preheat to 375°F (190°C), cook for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through
02 -
Choose a fresh, firm cabbage with tightly packed leaves for best results
03 -
Don't skimp on the oil - it helps the edges caramelize and crisp up
04 -
Experiment with different spice combinations like curry powder or Cajun seasoning
05 -
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days and reheat in oven or air fryer to restore crispiness
