Keto Roasted Cabbage Steaks

Keto Roasted Cabbage Steaks

Ingredients:

  • 1 medium head of green cabbage
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (or regular paprika)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional toppings: grated Parmesan cheese, crumbled feta cheese, fresh herbs (such as parsley or thyme), or balsamic glaze

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Prepare the Cabbage:
    • Remove any damaged outer leaves from the cabbage. Place the cabbage on a cutting board and slice it into 1-inch thick steaks. You should be able to get about 4-6 steaks, depending on the size of the cabbage. Save any leftover cabbage for another use.
  1. Season the Steaks:
    • In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil (or melted butter), garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Brush both sides of each cabbage steak generously with the seasoning mixture.
  2. Roast the Cabbage:
    • Place the seasoned cabbage steaks on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges are golden brown and the cabbage is tender.
  3. Add Optional Toppings:
    • If using cheese, sprinkle the grated Parmesan or crumbled feta cheese over the cabbage steaks during the last 5 minutes of roasting to let it melt slightly.
  4. Serve:
    • Once roasted, remove the cabbage steaks from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with fresh herbs or a drizzle of balsamic glaze, if desired. Serve warm as a side dish or a main dish.

Tips for Success:

  • Cut Uniformly: Try to cut the cabbage steaks as evenly as possible to ensure they roast uniformly.
  • Customize the Flavors: Feel free to add your favorite spices or herbs to the seasoning mix. Italian seasoning, chili flakes, or even a squeeze of lemon juice can add a delightful twist.
  • Perfect Pairing: These roasted cabbage steaks pair wonderfully with grilled meats, fish, or a hearty salad, making them a versatile addition to any meal.
