Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 large head of green cabbage
- 3 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
- 1 teaspoon Lawry’s Total Seasoning (or to taste)
- ½ teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil to ensure easy cleanup after roasting the cabbage steaks.
- Prepare Cabbage: Remove any loose or damaged outer leaves from the cabbage to clean it and get ready for slicing.
- Slice Cabbage: Lay the cabbage on its side and carefully slice it into thick rounds approximately ¾ to 1 inch thick, keeping the core intact so that the slices hold together as steaks.
- Arrange and Oil: Place the cabbage slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Brush both sides of each slice generously with olive oil or melted butter to keep them moist and help with browning.
- Season: Evenly sprinkle Lawry’s Total Seasoning and paprika over both sides of the cabbage steaks to add a savory and slightly smoky flavor.
- Bake: Bake the cabbage uncovered in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping the steaks halfway through cooking to ensure even tenderness and golden edges.
- Optional Broil: For extra crispiness and browning, broil the cabbage steaks for 2 to 3 minutes at the end, but watch carefully to avoid burning.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve immediately. Optionally garnish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese, a squeeze of lemon juice, or a drizzle of balsamic glaze to enhance the flavor.
Notes
- Keeping the core intact helps the cabbage slices hold their shape during cooking.
- Use parchment paper or foil on the baking sheet for easier cleanup.
- Olive oil can be substituted with melted butter for a richer flavor.
- Adjust seasoning quantities according to taste preferences.
- Broiling at the end is optional but adds a nice caramelized finish.
- This dish pairs well with grilled meats or as part of a vegetarian meal.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven or air fryer for best texture.
