How to Prepare Oven Roasted Garlic Cabbage Steaks

Step 1 — Preheat oven
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2 — Trim & slice the cabbage
Remove outer leaves from 1 large green or red cabbage and slice into ~1-inch thick “steaks.” Try to keep slices even.

Step 3 — Arrange on the sheet
Lay the cabbage steaks flat on the prepared baking sheet with a little space between each.

Step 4 — Drizzle with fat
Drizzle each steak with 3 tablespoons olive oil (or melted butter) so they’re lightly coated.

Step 5 — Make the seasoning mix
In a small bowl combine: 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp smoked paprika, ½ tsp onion powder, ½ tsp dried thyme, 1 tsp salt, ½ tsp black pepper. Stir to blend.

Step 6 — Season the steaks
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the cabbage steaks (press gently so it sticks).

Step 7 — Roast
Place in the oven and roast 25–30 minutes, until edges are browned and crisp. (Optional: carefully flip the steaks once about halfway through — ~12–15 minutes — for more even browning.)

Step 8 — Finish & top
Remove from oven. Add optional toppings such as grated Parmesan, red pepper flakes, or chopped fresh parsley.

Step 9 — Serve
Serve warm as a side or a main with your favorite garlic-forward dishes.

Cooking Time and Temperature

To perfectly prepare your Oven Roasted Garlic Cabbage Steaks, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Begin by slicing a whole head of cabbage into thick “steaks.”

This thickness ensures they hold up during cooking while absorbing delicious flavors. Arrange the cabbage slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Generously drizzle them with olive oil, and add minced garlic, salt, and pepper for a touch of seasoning.

Roast the cabbage in the oven for about 25 to 30 minutes. After the first 15 minutes, flip each steak to achieve an even, golden-brown crust.

For an added twist, consider pairing these cabbage steaks with a savory honey garlic shrimp dish. The sweetness of the honey and the richness from the garlic complement the earthy flavors of the cabbage beautifully, making for a well-rounded meal. Enjoy your healthy, flavorful creation fresh from the oven!
