These cheesy baked cabbage steaks are a delicious and healthy side dish or vegetarian main course. Tender roasted cabbage is topped with melted cheese and a blend of seasonings, making it a simple yet satisfying addition to any meal.
Ingredients
- 1 large green cabbage, sliced into 1-inch thick steaks
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven:
- Preheat to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Prepare the Cabbage Steaks:
- Slice the cabbage into 1-inch thick rounds, keeping the core intact to hold the steaks together. Lay them flat on the prepared baking sheet.
- Season the Steaks:
- Drizzle olive oil over both sides of the cabbage steaks and rub to coat evenly. Sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Bake:
- Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges are golden brown and the cabbage is tender.
- Add Cheese:
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle each cabbage steak with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve:
- Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
Tips for the Best Cabbage Steaks
- Keep them intact: Be gentle when flipping the cabbage to prevent it from falling apart.
- Add toppings: Sprinkle with red pepper flakes for a spicy kick or breadcrumbs for extra crunch.
- Use red cabbage: Swap green cabbage for red cabbage for a colorful variation.
