Ingredients
For the Cabbage Steaks
- 2 heads Cabbage Go for firm, heavy heads for best texture and flavor.
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil Can substitute with avocado oil for a lighter option.
- 1 teaspoon Salt Essential for bringing out natural sweetness.
For the Seasoning

Optional Garnishes
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley Chopped, for garnish.

Instructions
Making the Cabbage Steaks
- Start by removing the stem ends of the cabbage heads. Slice each head in half through the core, then cut into thick slabs about ¾ to 1 inch thick.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, spreading out the cabbage steaks so they have space between each.
- Brush the top of each cabbage steak generously with olive oil.
- Sprinkle the prepared steaks with salt, garlic powder, and black pepper, covering the surface evenly.
- Grate Parmesan cheese over each steak for maximum flavor infusion.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F for about 20-25 minutes, until edges are golden brown and blistered.
- Remove from oven and enjoy hot, garnished with parsley or red pepper flakes.
Notes
Optional: Drizzle with balsamic glaze before serving for added sweetness. For best taste, enjoy immediately after cooking.
