Learn how to make perfectly tender and slightly caramelized roasted cabbage steaks using common pantry staples. This easy sheet pan recipe delivers a flavorful, healthy side dish ready in under an hour.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium head green cabbage
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Remove any loose or damaged outer leaves from the cabbage. Place the cabbage core-side down. Carefully slice the cabbage into four equal, thick steaks, about 1 inch thick. Keep the core intact on each slice to hold the leaves together.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, melted butter, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper to create the herb butter.
  4. Place the cabbage steaks on the prepared baking sheet. Brush both sides of each steak generously with the herb butter mixture. Do not skip brushing the edges.
  5. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes. Flip the steaks carefully halfway through the cooking time. The edges should start to brown and crisp, and the center should be tender when pierced with a fork.
  6. Remove from the oven. If using, drizzle lightly with balsamic vinegar before serving immediately.

Notes

  • For crispier edges, make sure your oven is fully preheated and avoid overcrowding the baking sheet. Give the steaks space.
  • If your cabbage is very large, you may need to increase the cooking time by 5 to 7 minutes. Check for tenderness.
  • To make this a vegan cabbage steak recipe, substitute the butter with 2 tablespoons of melted coconut oil or vegan butter.
  • If you prefer a cheesy crust, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the steaks during the last 5 minutes of roasting.
