Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large head of green cabbage (about 2–3 lbs)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup Panko breadcrumbs (optional, for extra crunch)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
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 outer leaves from the cabbage. Place the cabbage on a cutting board and slice it into 1-inch thick rounds (steaks). Ensure you cut through the core so the leaves stay held together in a circular shape.
- Arrange the cabbage slices on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Use a pastry brush to coat both sides of each cabbage steak generously with the seasoned oil. This ensures the spices penetrate the layers of the cabbage.
- Slide the baking sheet into the oven and roast for 20 minutes. Remove the tray and carefully flip each steak using a wide spatula. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs evenly over the top of each slice. Return to the oven for another 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cabbage edges are charred and the cheese is golden and bubbling. Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
