Ingredients & Tools You'll Need

To make these roasted cabbage steaks, you’ll need just a handful of ingredients. Start with a head of cabbage – green or purple works, but I love the vibrant color of purple for that extra wow factor. You'll also need some bacon grease or your choice of oil; I usually go with olive oil because it adds a nice flavor without overpowering everything else.

For seasoning, grab some all-purpose seasoning (think salt, pepper, garlic) and Greek seasoning or your favorite blend. And don’t forget that 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan – it’s the cherry on top that adds a rich, nutty flavor. You’ll also want a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

It’s all about keeping this process as smooth as possible!

How To Make It

Alright, let’s get into the nitty-gritty of making these delicious roasted cabbage steaks. It’s a two-step process: preparation and cooking. Don’t worry; it’s all pretty straightforward, and I’ll walk you through each step.

Preparation

First things first, preheat your oven to 400°F. This will ensure that your cabbage steaks get that perfect roast. While the oven heats up, you’ll want to remove any wilted outer leaves from the cabbage.

Once that’s done, slice the cabbage into 1-inch-thick steaks. Aim for a nice, even cut to ensure they cook evenly.

Next, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread a bit of the bacon grease or oil onto it. This will help the cabbage from sticking and give it that lovely golden brown color. Now, arrange those cabbage steaks on the baking sheet like they’re ready for a photo shoot.

Brush the tops with the remaining grease and sprinkle them with the all-purpose seasoning and Parmesan.

Cooking

Now it's time for the magic to happen! Slide the baking sheet onto the center rack of your preheated oven and let those steaks roast for 40 to 45 minutes. Here’s where you get to enjoy the savory aroma wafting through your kitchen.

You’ll want to keep an eye on them as they roast; you’re looking for those edges to turn golden brown and crispy.

Once they’re done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a minute. They’ll be hot, so give them a moment to chill out. The texture is something else too – crisp edges with a soft bite in the middle, that’s what we’re going for!

Serve warm, and watch everyone dig in.

Serving & Variations

These roasted cabbage steaks are super versatile, making them a great addition to any meal. You can enjoy them as a side dish with grilled meats, or even pile them high with toppings like pulled pork or chili for a fun twist. If you're feeling adventurous, try adding some balsamic glaze or hot sauce for an extra kick.

Storing leftovers? Not a problem! You can keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for about 3-4 days.

Just pop them back in the oven to reheat, and they’ll crisp up nicely again. And hey, if you want to mix it up, consider experimenting with different seasonings or cheeses – the possibilities are endless!

Wrapping Up

So there you have it – roasted cabbage steaks that are easy, delicious, and totally impressive. I can’t wait for you to try this recipe; I know you’ll love it as much as I do. Remember, cooking should be fun, and this dish is all about enjoying the process.

So grab your head of cabbage and let’s get cooking!
