- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese (or your favorite cheese)

Directions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- Prepare the Cabbage: Remove tough outer leaves and slice the cabbage into 1-inch-thick rounds, creating “steaks.” Handle carefully to keep slices intact.
