Can I use red cabbage?

Yes. Red cabbage works beautifully and gives Oven Roasted Cabbage Steaks a dramatic color.

Do I need to peel the cabbage?

Just remove damaged outer leaves. The rest stays intact and helps the slices hold together.

Can I make them ahead of time?

You can slice and season the cabbage in advance, then roast it right before serving. That keeps Oven Roasted Cabbage Steaks at their best.

What if my cabbage slices fall apart?

That usually means the slices were cut too thin or the core was removed too much. Keep the core intact for better structure.

Are these good for low-carb meals?

Yes. Oven Roasted Cabbage Steaks are naturally low-carb, which makes them useful for a variety of meal plans.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it so the cabbage does not stick as it roasts.
Remove any outer leaves that look wilted, dry, or damaged. Keep the cabbage core intact, then use a sharp knife to slice the head into thick 3/4-inch rounds. These thick slices are what create the steak shape and help Oven Roasted Cabbage Steaks stay together while baking.
In a small bowl, stir together the olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, thyme, salt, and black pepper until evenly combined.
Brush the seasoning mixture generously over both sides of each cabbage slice. Make sure every part gets coated so the cabbage roasts with full flavor and browns evenly.
Arrange the cabbage slices on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Leave space between each piece so hot air can circulate around them.
Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, turning the cabbage halfway through the cooking time. Continue roasting until the edges are golden brown and lightly crisp, and the centers are tender.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cabbage rest for a minute or two. Add optional toppings if you like, then serve warm.

Notes

For extra flavor: Sprinkle Parmesan over the cabbage during the final few minutes of roasting.
For a spicy finish: Add red pepper flakes after baking.
For a fresher look and taste: Finish with chopped parsley and a squeeze of lemon.
Air fryer option: Preheat the air fryer to 375°F and cook the seasoned cabbage slices in a single layer for about 10 to 15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges turn crisp and golden.
