Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium green cabbage
- 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Freshly chopped parsley, for garnish
- Sour cream, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Remove any loose, wilted, or damaged outer leaves from the cabbage and slice off a thin piece from the bottom to hold it steady. Standing the cabbage upright, slice straight down through the center and through the core into thick, even slices, about 1 to 1½ inches wide. You should get 4 to 6 steaks from a medium head.
- Arrange the cabbage steaks in a single layer on the baking sheet. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, and salt. Brush the mixture generously over both sides of each cabbage steak.
- Roast for 25 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway, or until cabbage steaks are browned and tender in the center. Remove from the oven and top with the grated Parmesan.
- Return to the oven and bake for another 5 minutes, until the edges are deeply golden and crispy and the Parmesan has melted and browned. Finish with a dash of freshly ground black pepper, sprinkle fresh parsley on top, and serve warm with sour cream on the side, if using.
