Let’s Create Magic! Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Cabbage Steaks
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C)
Remove any damaged outer leaves from cabbage
Cut into 1-inch thick slices – keep the core intact to hold slices together
Place on parchment-lined baking sheet
Step 2: Flavor Infusion
In small bowl, mix olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper
Brush both sides of cabbage steaks generously with spiced oil
Make sure to get the edges and crevices
Step 3: Roast to Perfection
Roast for 25-30 minutes
Flip carefully halfway through
Sprinkle with nutritional yeast during last 5 minutes
Finished when edges are crispy and centers are tender
Step 4: The Grand Finale
Drizzle with balsamic glaze
Sprinkle with toasted nuts and fresh herbs
Serve immediately while hot and crispy
Chef’s Secrets for the Perfect Cabbage Steak
CHOOSE RIGHT: Pick a dense, heavy cabbage for best results
CUT THICK: 1-inch slices hold their shape better than thin cuts
DON’T SKIP THE FLIP: Ensures even caramelization on both sides
WATCH CLOSELY: Ovens vary – yours might need 5 minutes more or less
