Tips

Roasting cabbage steaks can be a bit tricky. Here are some tips to make them come out perfect every time:

• Cut the cabbage into thick slices of about 1 inch so that they roast perfectly without getting too mushy or burnt.
• Use olive oil and salt sparingly when seasoning the steaks to avoid overpowering their natural flavors. Additionally, try experimenting with different herbs like thyme or rosemary for added taste and aroma.
• Preheat your oven to 400°F before placing your seasoned cabbage steaks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. It's essential to use parchment paper as it helps prevent sticking and makes cleaning up much easier.
• Roast until the slices turn golden brown with slightly charred edges.
• Let them rest for a few minutes after roasting. This will help retain their firmness and texture when serving.
