Description
Oven Roasted Garlic Cabbage Steaks are a crispy, savory, and beautifully caramelized veggie side that brings out the best in humble cabbage. With golden-brown edges, a buttery garlic aroma, and a sprinkle of fresh herbs, this simple recipe transforms an everyday vegetable into something crave-worthy.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium green cabbage
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
- Optional: red pepper flakes, lemon juice, or a drizzle of balsamic glaze
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Remove any damaged outer leaves, then slice the cabbage into 3/4-inch thick rounds. Try to keep the core intact so the ‘steaks’ hold together.
- In a small bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Brush both sides of each cabbage steak generously with the garlic oil mixture.
- Lay the cabbage steaks flat on the baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until the edges are crispy and golden brown.
- Sprinkle with fresh parsley and optional toppings like lemon juice or red pepper flakes. Serve hot as a side or centerpiece!
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in the oven or air fryer to bring back the crisp texture.
- Air fryer option: Cook at 380°F for 12–15 minutes, flipping once.
- Broil for 2 minutes at the end for extra crispiness.
- Use red cabbage for variation—expect a stronger flavor and firmer texture.
