Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 head green cabbage (firm and fresh)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 34 fresh garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cabbage: Remove any loose or damaged outer leaves from the cabbage head. Using a sharp knife, slice the cabbage into 1-inch thick rounds, ensuring the core stays intact to hold the slices together.
  2. Make the Garlic Butter: Gently melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave. Stir in the minced garlic and let it infuse off the heat for a few minutes, allowing the flavors to meld without burning the garlic.
  3. Coat the Cabbage Steaks: Brush both sides of each cabbage slice with olive oil, then season lightly with salt and pepper. Generously baste each steak with the prepared garlic butter, ensuring every layer is flavored.
  4. Roast the Cabbage: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Arrange the cabbage steaks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat in a single layer. Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until edges are browned and centers are tender.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Once out of the oven, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Serve immediately to enjoy their perfect texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use a sharp knife to ensure clean, even slices that cook uniformly.
  • Do not overcrowd the baking sheet to allow roasting instead of steaming.
  • Infuse garlic gently in butter off the heat to avoid burning.
  • Flip the cabbage steaks halfway through roasting for a golden crust on both sides.
  • Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper after roasting if needed for enhanced flavor.
