Baked Cabbage Steaks Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 large head of cabbage
- 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3-4 garlic cloves, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: a sprinkle of paprika, thyme, or parmesan cheese
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Prepare the Cabbage:
- Remove any outer leaves from the cabbage that are wilted or damaged.
- Cut the cabbage into 1-inch thick slices, trying to keep the core intact as much as possible to hold the steaks together.
- Season the Steaks:
- Place the cabbage slices on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush each side of the cabbage steaks with olive oil.
- Sprinkle the minced garlic evenly over the steaks.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. If using, add a sprinkle of paprika or thyme for extra flavor.
- Bake the Cabbage:
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping the cabbage steaks halfway through, until they are tender and the edges are browned and crispy.
- Serve:
- Once baked, remove from the oven and, if desired, sprinkle with a bit of parmesan cheese before serving.
- Enjoy your baked cabbage steaks as a side dish or a light main course!
Tips:
- You can also drizzle a bit of balsamic vinegar or lemon juice over the steaks before serving for an extra burst of flavor.
- If you prefer a bit more crispiness, you can broil the cabbage steaks for 2-3 minutes at the end of the baking time.
These cabbage steaks are a healthy and flavorful option that pairs well with a variety of main dishes. Enjoy!
