Cabbage Steaks
Description
The recipe for Cabbage Steaks begins by slicing a medium green cabbage into 1-inch thick slices that resemble steaks. These steaks are brushed generously on both sides with a mixture of olive oil, garlic powder, and salt before roasting at 425°F. The roasting process surprisingly tenderizes the cabbage while allowing the edges to brown and crisp up, creating a contrast in texture. After roasting for about 30 to 40 minutes, the steaks develop a rich, caramelized flavor enhanced by fresh ground black pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice. The lemon wedges served alongside add a fresh, acidic balance to the roasted cabbage's earthiness. These steak-like slices make a substantial vegetable side suitable for various meals requiring a flavorful yet simple vegetable component.
Ingredients
- 1 green cabbage medium
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- sea salt heaping ¼ teaspoon
- black pepper freshly ground
- lemon for squeezing, wedges
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Remove any loose outer leaves from the cabbage, then use a sharp knife to slice off the bottom of the core to create a flat base. Stand the cabbage upright on a cutting board. Slice the cabbage vertically into 1-inch-thick steaks. Arrange in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, stir together the olive oil, garlic powder, and salt. Brush half onto the cabbage steaks. Carefully flip, then brush with the remaining oil.
- Roast for 30 to 40 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway, or until the cabbage steaks are well browned and tender in the middle. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Serve as a side dish with lemon wedges for squeezing or try one of the serving suggestions in the blog post above.
