Ingredients and Tools Needed for cabbage steaks

Small head of green cabbage - I prefer to use green cabbage for this recipe, but any cabbage will do.

Seasoning - Garlic powder, smoked paprika, kosher salt, and black pepper. You can also use your own favorite seasoning blend.

Tools needed for this recipe

How to make roasted cabbage steaks

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Slice cabbage into 1-inch thick pieces and place on a sheet pan. I used a cast iron sheet pan, which I find gives the best caramelization. If you don't have a cast iron, a dark sheet pan will do.

How to cut cabbage for cabbage steaks

Firstly, a sharp and sturdy chef's knife is ideal when slicing through cabbages. They're very hard and depending on if you've washed them, slippery too.

Use a cutting board that does not slip around on your countertop. If yours does not have an anti-slip bottom, you can lay a kitchen towel down underneath to help prevent slipping. Still, be aware that it can still move.

How to store leftover baked cabbage steaks

Store completely cooled cabbage steaks in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

I don't recommend that you freeze cabbage steaks. The process of freezing ruins the texture of the cabbage.

Re-heating cabbage steaks: Place cabbage steaks on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for as long as it takes for them to come up to the desired temperature. Alternatively, you can microwave them for a minute or two depending on your microwave.

Preventing your cabbage steaks from falling apart

Before taking the knife to your cabbages, peel away any loose leaves or leaves that are falling apart until you're left with a really tight cabbage head.

While you can get more cabbage steaks by cutting them into thinner pieces, the chances your cabbage steaks are going to fall apart are higher.

The ideal width is 1-inch thick slices, though the cooking time will be a bit longer, you'll end up with a sturdy but tender cabbage steak in the end. Check out this handy guide on How to Cut Cabbage.
