Ingredients

  • 1 medium head of cabbage green
  • 2 Tbsp. oil avocado or olive
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • ¼ tsp. black pepper
  • 1 clove garlic crushed

Instructions

  • Prep the Cabbage: Preheat oven to 400 °F. Peel any dark or loose leaves from the head of cabbage. Cut and remove the bottom 1” from the stem end of the head. Place the cabbage cut side-down on a cutting board and slice into 3/4-1” steaks.
    1 medium head of cabbage
  • Season the Cabbage: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and place steaks in a single layer onto the pan. Whisk together oil, salt, pepper, and garlic in a small bowl. Liberally brush the sauce onto both sides of the cabbage steaks until it is all used.
    2 Tbsp. oil, ½ tsp. salt, ¼ tsp. black pepper, 1 clove garlic
  • Bake cabbage steaks in preheated oven for 20-22 minutes, or until the edges begin to caramelize.
  • Serve with additional salt and pepper, to taste. Enjoy!

Notes

Prep-Ahead Instructions:
Slice cabbage into steaks and whisk together the garlic sauce.  Store them separately for up to 2-3 days until ready to bake.
Storage Directions:
Place steaks in a single layer in a large food storage container.  Store in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. You can freeze these for up to 3-4 months, but the texture will definitely be affected. To avoid soggy cabbage steaks, pop them in a 350°F air fryer for 3-5 minutes, add them to a baking sheet and bake in the oven at 300°F for 5-8 minutes, or heat a large skillet over medium heat with a bit of oil or butter and cook for a few minutes per side. I do not recommend heating these in the microwave as they will get soggy.
Recipe Tips:
  • Check for bruises. Make sure you remove any loose or bruised leaves before cutting into steaks.  These will get soggy in the oven and won't crisp up fully.
  • Buy big. Buying a 6-8 inch head of cabbage ensures you get thick slices that will fit on your baking sheet.
  • Buy heavy. Look for a head of cabbage that feels heavy for its size so loose inner leaves won't fall apart when cut into steaks.
  • Brush both sides. Ensure the top of bottom of the steaks are evenly covered in the garlic sauce before baking.
  • Skip the microwave. Avoid reheating leftovers in the microwave as this will inevitably make them soggy!  Instead, opt to warm them up in an air fryer, the oven, or in a large skillet.
