This recipe might sound a bit unconventional but is sure to impress with its simplicity and depth of flavor - Baked Cabbage Steaks. 

This dish transforms the humble cabbage into a hearty, delicious, and somewhat surprising centerpiece that's both easy to prepare and incredibly satisfying.

Baked cabbage steaks are a wonderful example of how simple ingredients, when prepared with a bit of creativity, can result in a dish that's both unconventional and utterly delicious. Their robust texture and natural sweetness, enhanced by the caramelization in the oven, make them a versatile and crowd-pleasing option. 

Here comes the recipe 👇

Ingredients:

  • 1 large head of cabbage
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional for seasoning: smoked paprika, a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes, or a drizzle of balsamic vinegar

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare the Cabbage: Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage, and slice the head into thick steaks, about 1/2-inch to 3/4-inch thick. Be careful to keep the core intact in each steak to hold it together.
  3. Season: Brush both sides of each cabbage steak with olive oil and then rub with minced garlic. Season generously with salt and pepper. For an extra flavor kick, sprinkle smoked paprika or crushed red pepper flakes on top.
  4. Bake: Arrange the cabbage steaks in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and the centers are tender. Halfway through baking, you may flip the steaks to ensure even cooking, though this is optional based on your texture preference.
  5. Serve: Transfer the baked cabbage steaks to a serving platter. If desired, finish with a light drizzle of balsamic vinegar for a touch of acidity and sweetness. Serve hot as a main dish or a side, perfect for those seeking a hearty, plant-based option.
