Optional: red pepper flakes, grated Parmesan, fresh herbs, lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Prepare cabbage: Remove outer leaves and trim the stem for a flat base. Stand the cabbage upright and slice into 1-inch thick steaks.

  3. Season: Place cabbage slices on the baking sheet. Brush both sides with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

  4. Roast: Bake for 25–30 minutes until edges are crispy and centers are fork-tender.

  5. Serve: Garnish with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon juice if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Spicy variation: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes before roasting.

  • Cheesy option: Sprinkle Parmesan in the last 5 minutes of baking.

  • Herbaceous twist: Add rosemary or thyme before roasting.

  • Bright finish: Top with lemon zest or juice after roasting.

  • Storage: Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

  • Reheating: Warm in a 350°F oven or microwave briefly.
