Full Recipe:

Ingredients:

1 large head of green cabbage
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and pepper, to taste

Lemon wedges, for serving (optional)
Fresh herbs (such as parsley or chives), for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the Cabbage:
- Remove any loose outer leaves from the cabbage. Trim the stem end of the cabbage to create a flat surface. Stand the cabbage upright and cut it into 1-inch thick slices, creating “steaks.”

Make the Seasoning Mixture:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and pepper.
Coat the Cabbage Steaks:
- Place the cabbage steaks on the prepared baking sheet. Brush both sides of each steak with the seasoning mixture, ensuring they are well coated.
Roast the Cabbage:
- Roast the cabbage steaks in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and golden brown around the edges. Flip the steaks halfway through the cooking time to ensure even roasting.

Garnish and Serve:
- Remove the roasted cabbage steaks from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired, and serve hot with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the steaks.
