Learn how to make perfectly tender roasted cabbage steaks with crispy edges using a simple garlic butter seasoning. This recipe works well as a hearty vegetarian main dish or a flavorful side.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 head green cabbage
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (optional, for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Remove any loose outer leaves from the cabbage. Cut the cabbage head vertically into four equal, thick ‘steaks,’ about 1 to 1.5 inches thick. Keep the core intact on each steak to hold the layers together.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika to create the garlic butter mixture.
  4. Place the cabbage steaks on the prepared baking sheet. Brush both sides of each steak generously with the garlic butter mixture.
  5. Roast for 20 minutes.
  6. Carefully flip the cabbage steaks. If you are using balsamic vinegar, brush a light coating over the tops now.
  7. Return the steaks to the oven and roast for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are nicely caramelized and the center is tender when pierced with a fork.
  8. Remove from the oven and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra crispy edges, you can place the steaks under the broiler for the last 1-2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
  • If your steaks are very large, you may need to increase the total cooking time by 5-10 minutes.
  • This recipe is excellent for meal prep; reheat leftovers in a toaster oven for best texture.
