They're quick, easy, and totally addictive — the perfect side dish for busy weeknights or your next healthy recipe night. Let’s roast some magic! 🥬✨

🛒 Ingredients

For the Cabbage Steaks:

  • 1 head of green cabbage, cut in half

  • 100g (about 1 cup) grated Parmesan cheese

  • 60ml (¼ cup) olive oil

  • Salt, to taste

  • Black pepper, to taste

  • Paprika, to taste

  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed (optional but delicious!)

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)

🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

  2. Slice the cabbage into steaks about 1–2 cm thick. Keep the core intact if possible—it helps the pieces hold together.

  3. In a bowl, combine grated Parmesan, olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika. Add crushed garlic if using.

  4. Spread the Parmesan mixture directly onto the lined baking sheet in spots where the cabbage slices will go — this creates a cheesy crust underneath.

  5. Place the cabbage steaks on top of the cheese mixture. Drizzle the tops with a little more olive oil and season lightly again.

  6. Roast in the oven for 10 minutes. Then carefully flip the steaks and roast for another 10 minutes until beautifully golden and crispy.

  7. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately while hot and crunchy. Enjoy! 😋

📌 FAQs

Can I use red cabbage instead of green?
You can, but green cabbage holds its shape better when roasting. Red cabbage may bleed color and soften more quickly.

What’s the best way to flip the cabbage steaks without breaking them?
Use a large spatula and gently wiggle underneath before lifting. Keeping the core intact during slicing also helps hold them together.

Can I make this ahead of time?
These are best served fresh for maximum crispiness, but you can prep the slices and cheese mixture earlier in the day.

Is there a dairy-free alternative to Parmesan?
Yes! Try nutritional yeast mixed with olive oil and a pinch of salt for a savory crust without the cheese.

What do I serve this with?
These go beautifully with grilled meats, roasted chicken, or even as a vegetarian main with a side of quinoa or rice.
