Oven Roasted Garlic Cabbage Steaks

Ingredients:

• 1 medium head green cabbage

• 3 tablespoons olive oil

• 3 garlic cloves, minced

• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)

• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

• Fresh parsley or chives, chopped (for garnish, optional)

🧑‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
   Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.

2. Prepare Cabbage:
   Remove any loose outer leaves. Slice the cabbage into ¾-inch thick “steaks” (round slices).

3. Make Garlic Oil:
   In a small bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika (if using), salt, and pepper.

4. Brush Cabbage:
   Place cabbage steaks on the baking sheet. Brush both sides generously with the garlic oil mixture.

5. Roast:
   Roast in the oven for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until edges are crispy and browned.

6. Garnish & Serve:
   Sprinkle with fresh herbs if desired. Serve warm as a side dish or a light main.

Tips:

• For extra flavor, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the steaks before roasting.

• Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving for brightness.

• Leftover steaks are great chopped into salads or grain bowls.
