Oven Roasted Garlic Cabbage Steaks Recipe

Hi, I’m Sam from dishfoody.com, where comforting classics get a fresh twist. Oven Roasted Garlic Cabbage Steaks transform humble cabbage wedges into caramelized steak-like slabs brushed with garlic-infused olive oil for crispy edges and tender buttery centers. Ready in 40 minutes, they serve 4 as main or 8 as side with steakhouse char.

Why This Recipe Works

1-inch thick slices hold shape during roasting. Garlic oil penetrates layers without sogginess. High heat caramelizes natural sugars. Core intact prevents disintegration. Single flip maximizes crispy surface area. Resting redistributes juices perfectly.

Ingredients & Prep

• 1 large green cabbage (2½ lbs)
• ¼ cup olive oil
• 6 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• ½ tsp black pepper

Garnish:

• 2 tbsp chopped parsley
• Parmesan (optional)

1. Preheat 425°F. Line sheet pan parchment.
2. Slice cabbage vertically through core into 1-inch steaks (3-4 steaks).
3. Mix oil, garlic, paprika, salt, pepper. Brush generously both sides.
4. Roast 20 minutes until edges brown. Flip carefully.
5. Roast 15-20 minutes until fork-tender + crispy edges.
6. Rest 5 minutes; garnish parsley + cheese.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

• 1 large head green cabbage (2–3 lbs)
• ¼ cup olive oil
• 6 garlic cloves (minced or pressed)
• 1½ tsp kosher salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• Optional: ½ tsp smoked paprika or red pepper flakes

Instructions

• 1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line large baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone mat.
• 2. Remove loose outer cabbage leaves. Place core-side down on cutting board. Slice into 1-inch thick steaks/wedges (3-4 total), keeping core intact to hold layers together.
• 3. Whisk olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and optional paprika. Brush generously on both sides and all edges of each steak.
• 4. Arrange steaks in single layer on baking sheet. Roast 25 minutes until edges brown and caramelize.
• 5. Carefully flip using wide spatula. Roast additional 15-20 minutes until tender inside but crispy edges. Cabbage is done when knife pierces center easily.

Notes

• Keep core intact or steaks fall apart; aim for 1-inch thickness.
• Fresh garlic makes biggest flavor difference—don’t substitute powder.
• High heat + constant sheet pan contact creates crispy caramelized edges.
• Room temperature olive oil brushes easier than cold oil.
• Perfect hot or room temp. Leftovers reheat at 375°F 10 minutes to recrisp.
