Kitchen Tools You’ll Need

Ingredients

• 1 large head of green cabbage

How to Make Cheesy Baked Cabbage Steaks

1. Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

2. Slice the Cabbage
Remove any tough outer leaves from the cabbage. Slice it into 1-inch thick rounds, keeping them intact for “steaks.”

3. Season the Cabbage
Place the cabbage steaks on the prepared baking sheet. Brush both sides with olive oil, then sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

4. Roast to Perfection
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and golden brown while the center remains tender.

5. Add the Cheese
Remove from the oven and generously sprinkle shredded cheese over each steak. Return to the oven for another 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

6. Serve & Enjoy
Garnish with fresh parsley for an extra touch of flavor. Serve hot and enjoy the cheesy, crispy goodness!
