Description
Delicious roasted cabbage steaks, seasoned and topped with garlic butter, perfect as a side dish or vegetarian main.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large green cabbage (approx. 1 kg / 3 lbs)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened (56g / ½ stick)
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or ½ teaspoon dried)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (15ml)
- ¼ teaspoon red-pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional, 15g)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Carefully slice the cabbage into 1-inch (2 cm) thick rounds, keeping the core intact so the steaks hold together.
- Brush both sides of each cabbage steak with olive oil.
- Season evenly with sea salt and black pepper.
- In a small bowl, mix together the softened unsalted butter, minced garlic, fresh thyme leaves, and fresh lemon juice until well combined.
- Spread a generous amount of the garlic butter mixture over the top of each cabbage steak.
- Arrange the cabbage steaks on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.
- Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until the edges are deep golden and slightly crisp.
- Remove from the oven and drizzle any remaining pan juices over the steaks.
- Sprinkle with red pepper flakes, Parmesan cheese (if using), and fresh parsley.
- Let rest for 3 minutes before serving.
Notes
- This recipe can also be made with other seasonings or cheeses based on your preferences.
- For best results, ensure the cabbage steaks are of even thickness for uniform cooking.
