These Roasted Cabbage Steaks come out perfectly crispy, caramelized, and so delicious after a quick bake in the oven! All you need is 30 minutes, a head of cabbage, garlic and oil to make this easy low-carb side dish!
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 ¾-1” steaks.
1 medium head green 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 tablespoons olive oil, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, 1 clove garlic
Bake cabbage steaks in the preheated oven for 20-22 minutes, or until the edges begin to caramelize. Serve with additional salt and pepper, to taste.
Notes
Cabbage: Look for a head of cabbage that feels heavy for its size so loose inner leaves won't fall apart when cut into steaks.
Seasoning: Use your favorite herbs to change up the flavor.
Prep-Ahead: Slice cabbage into steaks and whisk together the garlic sauce. Store them separately for up to 2-3 days until ready to bake.
Storage: 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.
Reheating: 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.
