⏱️ Time Breakdown:

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 25–30 minutes
Total Time: 40–45 minutes
Servings: 4

📝 Ingredients List:

1 large green or red cabbage
3 tbsp olive oil (or melted butter for richer flavor)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp onion powder
½ tsp dried thyme
1 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
½ tsp black pepper
Optional toppings: grated Parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, or fresh parsley

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Prepare the Cabbage
Remove any wilted outer leaves. Slice the cabbage into ¾-inch thick “steaks,” keeping the core intact so they hold together. 🥬

Step 3: Season the Steaks
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Brush generously over both sides of each steak. 💧

Step 4: Roast to Crispy Perfection
Lay the steaks in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until edges are golden and crisp.

Step 5: Garnish & Serve
Sprinkle with Parmesan, red pepper flakes, or fresh parsley. Serve warm and enjoy! 😋
