Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium head green cabbage
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Remove any tough outer leaves from the cabbage. Cut the cabbage head into four equal wedges, keeping the core intact to hold the leaves together. These are your cabbage steaks.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  4. Brush the garlic oil mixture generously over all sides of each cabbage steak.
  5. Place the seasoned cabbage steaks cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Roast for 20 minutes.
  7. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of each steak.
  8. Return the cabbage to the oven and bake for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and the cheese is melted and golden brown.
  9. Serve immediately as a delicious, easy cabbage meal.

Notes

  • For a Southern-style flavor, substitute the Italian seasoning with a pinch of smoked paprika and a dash of hot sauce in the oil mixture.
  • If you prefer a softer texture, cover the baking sheet loosely with foil for the first 20 minutes of cooking.
  • This recipe works well for meal prep; store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
