Oven Roasted Garlic Cabbage (Print Version)
Crispy, flavorful cabbage slices roasted with garlic and herbs until caramelized - a simple yet impressive vegetarian side dish.
# Ingredients:
01 -
1 large green or red cabbage
02 -
3 tablespoons olive oil (or melted butter for a richer flavor)
03 -
1 teaspoon garlic powder
04 -
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
05 -
½ teaspoon onion powder
06 -
½ teaspoon dried thyme
07 -
1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
08 -
½ teaspoon black pepper
→ Optional toppings
09 -
Grated Parmesan cheese
10 -
Red pepper flakes
11 -
Fresh parsley
# Steps:
01 -
Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
02 -
Remove any wilted or damaged outer leaves from the cabbage. Using a sharp knife, slice the cabbage into ¾-inch thick rounds or "steaks." Be careful to keep the core intact — it holds the steaks together.
03 -
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
04 -
Brush this flavorful mixture generously onto both sides of each cabbage steak. Ensure every inch is coated for maximum flavor.
05 -
Place the cabbage steaks on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, leaving space between each steak. Roast them in the oven for 25–30 minutes, flipping them halfway through.
