Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it to prevent sticking.
Prepare the Cabbage: Remove any wilted outer leaves from the cabbage. Slice the cabbage into ¾-inch thick rounds, keeping the core intact so the steaks hold together during roasting.
Make the Seasoning Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and brush this mixture generously on both sides of each cabbage steak.
Roast the Cabbage Steaks: Arrange the seasoned cabbage steaks in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure to leave space between each piece. Roast in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping the steaks halfway through, until the edges are golden brown and crispy.
Serve: Remove the cabbage steaks from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes. Garnish with optional toppings such as grated Parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, or fresh parsley, and serve immediately.

Notes

Keep the core intact when slicing to help the cabbage steaks hold their shape during roasting.
For a richer flavor, substitute olive oil with melted butter.
Adjust the seasoning quantities to your taste preferences.
These steaks can be served as a side dish or a vegetarian main course.
Use parchment paper or a non-stick baking sheet to prevent sticking and for easier clean-up.
