Baked cabbage steaks are a delicious and simple dish that brings out the natural sweetness of cabbage. Here’s a basic recipe for making baked cabbage steaks:
Ingredients:
- 1 head of cabbage
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: Garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or your favorite herbs and spices
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare the Cabbage: Remove any outer leaves from the cabbage and cut the cabbage into thick slices, about 1 to 1.5 inches thick. Make sure to keep the core intact, as it helps the steaks hold their shape.
- Brush with Olive Oil: Place the cabbage steaks on a baking sheet. Brush both sides of each steak with olive oil. This helps to crisp up the edges during baking.
- Season: Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of the cabbage steaks. You can also add other seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or your favorite herbs and spices for extra flavor.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and crispy. You can flip the steaks halfway through the baking time to ensure even cooking.
- Serve: Once the cabbage steaks are cooked to your liking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve them hot as a side dish or a light main course.
Feel free to customize the recipe to your taste preferences. Some people like to drizzle balsamic glaze or sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the cabbage steaks before serving. Experiment with different seasonings and toppings to find your favorite combination. Enjoy your baked cabbage steaks!
