Ingredients

1 large green or red cabbage

3 tablespoons olive oil (or melted butter for richer flavor)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

½ teaspoon black pepper

Optional toppings: grated Parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, fresh parsley

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Remove any wilted or damaged outer leaves from the cabbage.

Slice the cabbage into ¾ to 1-inch thick steaks.

In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and pepper.

Brush both sides of each cabbage steak generously with the seasoned oil mixture.

Arrange steaks in a single layer on the baking sheet.

Roast for about 25 minutes, flipping halfway, until edges are crispy and cabbage is tender.

Optional: Sprinkle with Parmesan, red pepper flakes, or fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving for brightness.

Swap smoked paprika with regular paprika or chili powder for a spicier flavor.

Use nutritional yeast as a vegan cheese alternative to Parmesan.
