Baked Cabbage Steaks
From roasted cabbage quarters to baked cabbage pieces, roasting this veggie in the oven is my favorite way to take it from bland to delicious. Even the kids enjoy eating it!
Caramelized and tender roasted cabbage steaks are out of this world, and they make a perfect side for any protein or pasta dish. My favorite part: it takes barely any time or effort to prepare.
How to Make Roasted Cabbage Steaks
- Prep the cabbage.
Lay the cabbage on its side and trim the stump. Then, slice it into steaks. - Season.
Place the cabbage steaks on a lined baking sheet, drizzle with oil, and sprinkle with seasonings. - Roast.
Let the oven bake the rounds for 40-45 minutes. You don’t need to flip them. Before serving, squeeze some lemon on top.
Laura’s Tips for Roasting Cabbage Steaks
I prefer green cabbage because it's a little more tender than red cabbage, but both work for this recipe.
In today’s recipe, I’m using salt, pepper, and garlic powder, and sometimes, I like to add some chili flakes for a little heat. You can also season roasted cabbage steaks with Italian seasoning, taco seasoning, dried thyme, or onion powder.
To keep the cabbage steaks from falling apart, cut the cabbage head into thick slices of at least ½-inch. While you’ll trim the stump, leaving the cabbage core will also help hold the leaves together.
With the oven preheated to 450F, cabbage steaks take 40 to 45 minutes to be tender and golden with the edges slightly brown. There’s no need to flip them halfway through!
Serving Recommendations
These roasted cabbage steaks are a terrific side for garlic Parmesan spaghetti squash and cottage cheese Alfredo pasta. I also recommend serving these with garlic butter salmon, orange chicken thighs, or turkey burgers.
