Method
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Remove any wilted outer leaves from the cabbage. Stand the cabbage upright on its base and carefully slice it into four thick "steaks," each about 1-inch thick. The core will help hold the steaks together. If any outer leaves start to fall apart, don't worry, you can roast them separately; they'll just be more like wedges.1 large green cabbage
- In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of olive oil, the thinly sliced or minced garlic, smoked paprika, and onion powder. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. This garlic-infused oil is the flavor powerhouse of this dish.3 tablespoons olive oil, 4-6 cloves garlic, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, to taste salt, to taste freshly ground black pepper
- Place the cabbage steaks flat on the prepared baking sheet. Using a pastry brush or your hands, generously brush both sides of each cabbage steak with the garlic and spice mixture. Make sure to get into all the nooks and crannies. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the steaks, if needed, to ensure they are well coated.1 large green cabbage, 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 4-6 cloves garlic, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, to taste salt, to taste freshly ground black pepper
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges of the cabbage are golden brown and slightly crispy, and the center is tender-crisp. You can carefully flip the steaks halfway through the cooking time for even browning, though it's not strictly necessary.
- Once roasted to perfection, carefully remove the cabbage steaks from the oven. Serve immediately. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for brightness, or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat, if desired.fresh parsley, lemon juice, red pepper flakes
