Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 medium Green Cabbage (fresh, firm, with tightly packed leaves)
- 3 tablespoons Honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
- Salt, to taste
- Black Pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cabbage: Remove the outer leaves from the cabbage and slice it into 1-inch thick rounds. Leave the core intact to help hold the steaks together while roasting.
- Make the Honey Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and lemon juice if using. This glaze will coat and caramelize the cabbage steaks.
- Apply the Glaze: Lay the cabbage steaks on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush generously with the honey glaze on both sides to ensure full flavor coverage.
- Roast to Perfection: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Roast the cabbage steaks for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges are golden brown and caramelized and the cabbage is tender but holds its shape.
- Serve Warm: Transfer the roasted cabbage steaks to a serving plate, garnish as desired, and enjoy immediately for best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Choose firm, fresh cabbage heads with tightly packed leaves for sturdy steaks.
- Use a sharp knife to ensure even, uniform slices for consistent cooking.
- Flipping the cabbage steaks halfway through roasting ensures caramelization on both sides.
- Line the baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- Adjust honey amount in the glaze to match your preferred sweetness.
