Ingredients
1 Large Head Green or Red Cabbage
3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
1 Teaspoon Smoked Paprika
1 Teaspoon Ground Thyme
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
1/4 Teaspoon Black Pepper
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C)
Separate cabbage head into thick (1/3 inch to 1/2 inch) rounds, keeping the core intact for each slice
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper
Place cabbage rounds cut-side down on an oiled baking sheet, generously brushing the seasoning mixture on both sides
Roast for 15 minutes, then flip each steak and roast for an additional 10 minutes
Sprinkle with fresh thyme (optional) during the last 5 minutes of roasting for enhanced aroma
Notes
Replace olive oil with melted coconut oil for a nutty flavor
Use a mandoline for precise slicing (ensure the protective handguard is used)
Red cabbage adds a visually striking garnish after roasting
Serve as a main course with quinoa or roasted mushrooms for added protein
