Ingredients
Green Cabbage: This recipe requires a whole head of green cabbage. You can use red or purple cabbage, too, but I do prefer green cabbage for this recipe. If you have a red cabbage, make my Red Cabbage Slaw!
Onion and Garlic Powder: Onion and garlic powder give this roasted cabbage steaks recipe so much flavor! Be sure you don't use garlic salt.
Za'atar: Za'atar is a Middle Eastern herb blend that is made of thyme, sesame seeds and sumac. It is so delicious in this recipe!
Lemon Juice: A squeeze of fresh lemon juice at the end brightens the dish up.
Instructions
Step 1. Wash and dry a head of green cabbage, then remove any outer wilted leaves.
Cut the cabbage into 1.25-inch slices. You should get 4 steaks from 1 medium cabbage. Two from the center and two end pieces.
Step 2. In a small bowl, combine extra virgin olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder and za'atar. Mix to combine.
Step 3. Place the cabbage onto an unlined baking sheet.
Then, brush each side with the olive oil and spice mixture and season each side with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Step 4. Be sure the end pieces are cut-side facing up.
Then, bake in a 425°F oven for 35-40 minutes or until the roasted cabbage steaks start to brown and are tender in the center.
Finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and enjoy!
Recipe FAQs
Transfer leftovers to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Reheat in a toaster oven or regular oven for best results!
Garlic powder, onion powder, paprika or smoked paprika, cumin, fennel and so much more are delicious on cabbage.
I like to bake cabbage steaks at 425°F so they get a little brown. And lower than that, and the cabbage just ends up steaming in the oven.
Expert Recipe Tips
Be careful with the end pieces! They do not have the stem running through the center to hold them together, so they want to fall apart. But they roast really well and I didn't want you to buy two cabbages and only use half of each for this recipe.
Be sure the end pieces are cut side facing up before putting them in the oven! This will allow them to brown and not just steam.
