Garlic Parmesan Cabbage Steaks

# What You Need:

→ Vegetables

01 - 1 large green cabbage

02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil

→ Seasoning

03 - 1 teaspoon sea salt

04 - 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

05 - 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)

→ Garlic Parmesan Topping

06 - 3 cloves garlic, minced

07 - 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

08 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

09 - 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)

# Directions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

02 - Remove tough outer leaves and trim the base of the cabbage. Slice into 3/4-inch thick steaks, keeping the cores intact to hold slices together.

03 - Arrange steaks in a single layer on the baking sheet. Brush both sides with olive oil and season evenly with sea salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika if using.

04 - Roast the cabbage steaks for 20 minutes. Carefully flip each steak over.

05 - Combine minced garlic, grated Parmesan, and melted butter in a small bowl. Spoon the mixture evenly over the flipped cabbage steaks.

06 - Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for an additional 10 to 12 minutes until the cheese is golden and bubbly and edges are browned.

07 - Remove from the oven. Optionally sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve immediately while hot.
