Equipment

  • Large baking sheet
  • Parchment paper or foil
  • Sharp knife
  • Cutting board
  • Small bowl
  • Pastry brush or spoon
  • Measuring spoons
  • Spatula

Ingredients
  

For the Cabbage Steaks

  • 1 large green cabbage
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional

For the Cheese Topping

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley optional
  • Lemon wedges optional for serving

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare the Oven

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  • Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easier cleanup.

Step 2: Slice the Cabbage

  • Remove any loose outer leaves from the cabbage.
  • Place the cabbage on a cutting board and slice it into thick rounds, about 3/4-inch to 1-inch thick. Try to keep the core attached to each slice so the steaks hold together better.

Step 3: Make the Seasoned Oil

  • In a small bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
  • Stir until well combined.

Step 4: Season the Cabbage

  • Place the cabbage slices on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
  • Brush the seasoned oil over the tops of the cabbage steaks. Flip them carefully and brush the other side as well.

Step 5: Roast the Cabbage

  • Roast for 22 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway through if the slices are sturdy enough.
  • The cabbage should be tender in the center and browned around the edges.

Step 6: Add the Cheese

  • Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan over each cabbage steak.
  • Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for another 5 to 7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and lightly golden.

Step 7: Serve

  • Let the cabbage steaks cool for 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Top with fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon if you like. Serve warm.
