Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 head green cabbage (cut into 1-inch thick steaks) Pick a firm head with tight leaves.
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter You can use salted, but controlling salt separately is preferred.
- 3 cloves garlic, minced For this recipe, we want bright, punchy garlic.
- 2 tbsp olive oil Helps the cabbage crisp.
- 1 tsp salt Kosher or sea salt is preferred for even seasoning.
- 1/2 tsp black pepper Freshly cracked if possible.
- 1 tsp smoked paprika Adds cozy warmth.
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley Adds brightness at the end.
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes Optional for a hint of heat.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Remove outer leaves from the cabbage and slice it into 1-inch thick rounds.
- Lay the cabbage steaks on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment or a nonstick surface. Brush both sides with olive oil.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and let it sizzle until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Brush the garlic butter over both sides of each cabbage steak. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
Roasting
- Roast the cabbage steaks in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
- Flip each steak and roast for an additional 10 minutes or until edges are golden.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley and red pepper flakes.
- Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
Leftovers reheat well in the oven or air fryer. For meal prep, you can slice and brush with oil a day in advance and keep them covered in the fridge.
