Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Remove any wilted or damaged outer leaves of the cabbage. Slice the cabbage into ¾-inch thick rounds, ensuring the core is left intact to keep each slice together.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil (or melted butter), garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Brush this mixture generously on both sides of each cabbage steak.
Arrange the cabbage steaks in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy on the edges.
Once roasted, remove from the oven and allow the cabbage steaks to cool for a minute. Garnish with Parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, or parsley for added flavor and color.
Serve immediately.

Notes

For an air fryer variation, preheat to 375°F (190°C) and air fry the cabbage steaks for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through until crispy and golden.
For extra flavor, experiment with other herbs like rosemary or oregano in place of thyme.
If you like spicy food, top the cabbage steaks with red pepper flakes or drizzle them with hot sauce.
Serve these cabbage steaks with roasted potatoes, Brussels sprouts, or a fresh green salad for a well-rounded meal.
