Crispy Baked Cabbage Steaks
🛒 What You’ll Need
- 1 Large head of Green Cabbage 🥬
- 2-3 tbsp Olive oil (for that perfect golden crunch) 🫒
- Salt & Black Pepper to taste 🧂
- Garlic powder (generous dusting!) 🧄
- Optional: Red pepper flakes for a kick or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese 🧀🌶️
👩🍳 Instructions
- Prep the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil. 📝🔥
- Slice the “Steaks”: Remove any loose or wilted outer leaves from the cabbage. Slice the cabbage into thick rounds (about 1-inch thick). Try to keep the core intact so the slices stay together! 🔪🥬
- Arrange: Lay the cabbage slices in a single layer on your prepared baking sheet. 📏
- Season: Brush both sides of each cabbage steak generously with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. 🫒🧄🧂
- Roast: Bake for 25–30 minutes. halfway through, carefully flip the steaks using a spatula to ensure both sides get that beautiful golden-brown color. ⏲️🔃
- The Crispy Finish: Cook until the edges are dark brown and crispy. Serve immediately while hot! 🍽️✨
🔥 Pro Tips:
- High Heat is Key: Don’t be afraid of the brown edges! That’s where all the sweet, caramelized flavor lives. 🎯🔥
- Add a Squeeze: A fresh squeeze of lemon juice or a drizzle of balsamic glaze right before serving takes these to a whole new level! 🍋🍯
