Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 large head of green cabbage
- 3 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
- 1 teaspoon Lawry’s Total Seasoning (or to taste)
- ½ teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
- Prep Cabbage: Remove any loose or damaged outer leaves from the cabbage to ensure clean, fresh slices.
- Slice Cabbage: Place the cabbage on its side and carefully slice into ¾- to 1-inch thick rounds, keeping the core intact so each steak holds together.
- Arrange and Oil: Lay the cabbage slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Brush both sides generously with olive oil or melted butter to enhance flavor and promote browning.
- Season: Evenly sprinkle Lawry’s Total Seasoning and paprika over both sides of the cabbage slices to add savory depth and a slight smoky kick.
- Bake: Bake the cabbage steaks uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through baking, until they are tender with golden-brown, caramelized edges.
- Optional Broil: For extra crispness and browning, broil the steaks for an additional 2 to 3 minutes at the end of baking. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve the steaks immediately. Optionally, garnish with freshly grated Parmesan, a squeeze of lemon juice, or a drizzle of balsamic glaze for added flavor.
Notes
- Keeping the core intact while slicing helps the cabbage steaks hold together during cooking.
- You can substitute olive oil with melted butter for a richer flavor.
- Feel free to customize seasoning to your preference or add garlic powder, black pepper, or herbs.
- Broiling is optional but adds a nice crispy finish to the edges.
- This dish pairs well as a side with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or as a vegetarian main with added toppings.
