These oven roasted garlic cabbage steaks are crispy on the edges, tender in the center, and bursting with garlicky flavor.

Ingredients

1 medium head green cabbage

3 tbsp olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp smoked paprika (optional)

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Optional garnish: chopped parsley, grated Parmesan, or red pepper flakes

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Remove any loose or damaged outer leaves from the cabbage. Cut the cabbage into ¾- to 1-inch thick round slices (“steaks”), keeping the core intact to hold them together.

Lay the cabbage steaks flat on the prepared baking sheet.

In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper.

Brush both sides of each cabbage steak generously with the garlic oil mixture.

Roast in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges are browned and crispy and the center is tender.

Garnish with parsley, Parmesan, or red pepper flakes if desired, and serve warm.

 

Notes

For even browning, avoid overcrowding the pan. Use two baking sheets if needed.

Add lemon juice or balsamic glaze before serving for extra flavor.

Can be made ahead and reheated in the oven or air fryer.

Perfect as a side dish, meatless main, or topped with eggs for brunch.
