Roasted Cabbage Steaks

Roasted Cabbage Steaks are thick wedges of green cabbage brushed with an infused olive oil and garlic mixture, seasoned, and oven-roasted until tender with slightly charred edges. The dish highlights savory herb notes from marjoram and optional fresh parsley garnish, with the choice to serve alongside lemon wedges or crumbled bacon for added brightness or texture.

Ingredients

  • 1 (2 to 2 1/2 lb) head green cabbage sliced into wedges vertically from head of cabbage about 3/4 to 1-inch thick
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic or use 3/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp marjoram dried
  • salt freshly ground
  • black pepper freshly ground
  • parsley for garnish (optional, minced, fresh
  • lemon wedges for serving (optional, fresh, or crumbled bacon

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spray a 13 by 9-inch baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray. Tip: I like to use a dark baking sheet that encourages more browning if you have one.
  2. Pour olive oil into a small bowl then press garlic through a garlic crusher into bowl (or mince), stir to infuse garlic flavor then pour and press mixture through a fine mesh strainer into another bowl to remove garlic pieces.*
  3. Stir marjoram into oil, and garlic powder if you opted to use that instead of fresh garlic.
  4. Lay cabbage wedges on prepared baking sheet and brush both slides with olive oil mixture and season with salt and pepper.
  5. Roast in preheated oven 15 minutes then carefully flip cabbage to opposite side and roast 10 to 15 minutes longer.**
  6. Garnish with parsley if desired. Serve warm with optional bacon crumbles or spritz with lemon wedges.

Notes

  • Press fresh garlic through a fine mesh strainer to separate juice from solids and avoid burning garlic during high heat roasting.
  • Use a dark baking sheet to encourage better browning on the cabbage steaks.
  • Flip cabbage halfway through roasting for even cooking and caramelization on both sides.
  • If you prefer less char, cover the cabbage with foil during the last 10 minutes.
