Roasted Cabbage Steaks (Vegan) 

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cabbage heads

  • 3 tbsp. olive oil

  • ½ tsp. salt or to taste

  • 2 tsp. paprika

  • 1 tbsp. garlic powder


INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Cut the stems off the cabbage heads and then cut each one in half, then in half (or thirds, depending on the size of the cabbage) again. You want flat discs of cabbage that are about ¾ to 1 inch thick. 

  2. Place the cabbage steaks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Leave space between each to allow even cooking.

  3. Brush the cabbage with olive oil, coating them thoroughly. 

  4. Generously sprinkle the salt, garlic powder, and paprika on the cabbage steaks. 

  5. Flip the cabbage over and repeat, brushing them with oil and sprinkling the seasonings.  Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to each one (optional).

  6. Bake the cabbage steaks at 400°F for about 25 minutes, until the leaves are brown and the center is tender. 

  7. Serve hot out of the oven.

Enjoy!
