What are Cabbage Steaks?

Cabbage Steaks are thick slices of cabbage drizzled with oil and seasoned. They are roasted in the oven until soft and tender with slightly crispy and charred edges.

Ingredients Needed for Roasted Cabbage Steaks

Cabbage: I like to use green cabbage for this recipe. Slice the cabbage into 3/4″ to 1″ slices- leaving the cabbage intact.

Oil:– I use vegetable oil. Drizzle it over the top and spread evenly to ensure each slice of the cabbage is covered with the oil.

Seasonings: Salt, Pepper, and Garlic Powder are all I use to flavor my cabbage. Feel free to pull whatever you have in your spice drawer and choose your favorite seasonings. 

Butter: Add slices of butter to the top of the hot cabbage and allow the butter to melt between the layers.
