Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium head of green cabbage
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper
- Optional: 1 tablespoon grated parmesan or nutritional yeast for garnish
- Optional: Fresh parsley for topping
Instructions
- Start by removing any wilted or damaged outer leaves from the cabbage. Place the cabbage on a sturdy cutting board and slice it into 1-inch thick “steaks.” Make sure to cut through the core so the leaves stay held together. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Lay the cabbage steaks on a flat surface and brush both sides generously with the seasoned oil mixture. Pre-heat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3 minutes. Place the steaks in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap. You may need to work in batches depending on the size of your air fryer. Air fry for 12 to 15 minutes, flipping them carefully halfway through using a wide spatula. Cook until the edges are dark brown and crispy.
- Once the cabbage steaks are fork-tender in the middle and charred on the outside, remove them carefully from the basket. Transfer them to a serving platter. If desired, sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese or nutritional yeast while they are still hot so it adheres to the surface. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately while they are at their maximum crispiness.
