Easy Oven Roasted Cabbage Steaks
Cabbage steaks make a great side dish. They're generously seasoned and then baked until they have crispy caramelized edges with a tender center. This flavorful recipe is dairy free, gluten free, and vegan friendly.
Ingredients
- 1 medium green cabbage about 2 pounds
- 3 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
- 2 tablespoons melted dairy free butter or unsalted butter if not dairy free
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon diamond crystal kosher salt reduce to ½ teaspoon if using anything else
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- freshly ground black pepper to taste
For serving
- fresh lemon juice
- fresh parsley or sliced green onions
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400ºF/200ºC.
- Whisk together the olive oil, melted butter, and spices in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Remove any loose outer leaves. Stand the whole cabbage upright with the stem end down on a cutting board, then use a sharp chef's knife to cut the cabbage into roughly 1.5-inch thick slabs. Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet with a bit of space in between each slice.
- Use a pastry brush to brush the seasoning mixture onto each side of the thick cabbage slices.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through the cooking time for even cooking. The edges of the cabbage should be golden brown and a fork can easily glide into the middle.
- Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top and top with chopped parsley or sliced green onions.
