Roasted Cabbage Steaks

A Simple, Flavor-Packed Way to Elevate Cabbage

Looking to try something a little different this St. Patrick’s Day—or any day? One of my favorite ways to prepare cabbage is by transforming it into tender, caramelized roasted cabbage steaks. When roasted at a high temperature, cabbage becomes beautifully golden on the outside, soft on the inside, and full of savory flavor.

This recipe is simple, budget-friendly, and surprisingly satisfying. It turns one humble head of cabbage into a dish that works as a side, a light main, or a plant-forward centerpiece on your plate.

Ingredients

• Small to medium head of cabbage, outer leaves removed(Avoid using a large cabbage, as it can be difficult to cut into even steaks)

• Extra virgin olive oil

• Coconut aminos

• Balsamic vinegar

• Nutritional yeast

• Smoked paprika

• Garlic powder

• Onion powder

• Cumin

• Salt and black pepper, to taste

• Fresh minced herbs for garnish (optional)

• Lemon wedges for finishing (optional)

  
  

How to Make Roasted Cabbage Steaks

Preheat the oven to 420°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Prepare the cabbage by slicing off the root end, then cutting the head into thick rounds—about three-quarters to one inch thick. Arrange the cabbage steaks in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, coconut aminos, nutritional yeast, spices, salt, and pepper. Generously brush the mixture over the cabbage steaks, making sure they’re well coated. Flip the cabbage and brush the other side as well.

Roast until the edges are crispy and caramelized and the centers are tender, flipping halfway through to ensure even browning.

Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh herbs and a squeeze of lemon if desired, and serve hot.

Storage Tips

Leftover cabbage steaks can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week or frozen for up to three months. Reheat in the oven or a skillet to bring back their crisp edges.
