Ingredients
  

Cabbage Steaks
  • 1 head green cabbage medium size
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 0.5 tsp onion powder
  • 0.5 tsp salt kosher salt preferred
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper freshly cracked
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped, for garnish
Creamy Dipping Sauce (Optional)
  • 0.25 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp sriracha adjust to taste
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 0.25 tsp garlic powder

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Chef's knife
  • Pastry brush
  • Small mixing bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Remove damaged outer leaves from cabbage. Slice vertically into 1-inch thick steaks, keeping the core intact to hold layers together.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, melted butter, minced garlic, paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Arrange cabbage steaks on the baking sheet. Brush both sides generously with the seasoning mixture.
  5. Roast for 25-30 minutes until edges are crispy and charred, and the center is tender.
  6. While roasting, mix mayonnaise, sriracha, lemon juice, and garlic powder to create the dipping sauce.
  7. Garnish roasted steaks with fresh parsley and serve hot with the dipping sauce.

Notes

Do not remove the core of the cabbage before slicing, as it keeps the steaks intact.
