Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large head of green cabbage (approximately 2 lbs)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Optional: Red pepper flakes for a kick
- Optional: Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone mats to prevent sticking. Remove any wilted or damaged outer leaves from the cabbage. Place the cabbage on a cutting board and slice it into 1-inch thick rounds. Make sure to keep the core intact for each slice, as this holds the “steak” together during the roasting process.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Place the cabbage slices in a single layer on your prepared baking sheet. Brush the top of each steak generously with the honey mixture. Flip the steaks over and brush the other side. Season both sides liberally with salt and black pepper.
- Slide the baking sheet into the center rack of the oven. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes. At the halfway mark, carefully flip the steaks using a wide spatula. You want the edges to look dark brown and crispy, while the center should be tender enough to pierce easily with a fork.
- Remove the tray from the oven and let the cabbage rest for 2 minutes. This allows the honey glaze to set slightly. Transfer the steaks to a serving platter. Garnish with red pepper flakes for heat or fresh parsley for a pop of color. Serve immediately while the edges are at their maximum crispiness.
