How to make simple Roasted Cabbage Steaks: (Scroll down for full printable recipe.)

  • Prepare Pan – Preheat oven to 400°F. Liberally spray a large baking sheet with cooking spray or brush with oil.
  • Trim Cabbage – Trim stem of cabbage to level. Cut cabbage into 1 inch slices from top to bottom, around the core, leaving internal core intact. (You can cut out the core, but it helps the leaves stay together while slicing.)
  • Combine Oil and Seasonings – In a small bowl mix together oil, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, parsley and garlic. Mix well.
  • Baste Cabbage – Brush liberally on all sides of cabbage steaks. Sprinkle tops with grated Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake – Bake per the recipe until golden, lightly charred and fork tender. You can broil for a few minutes to char further, if desired. Serve immediately.

How to Make the Best Oven Roasted Cabbage Steaks Recipe

  • Ingredients you’ll need to make homemade Cabbage Steaks: One medium-large head green cabbage, olive oil, salt, black pepper, crushed red pepper flakes, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic cloves and chopped Italian parsley.
  • Kitchen tools you’ll need: A large sheet pan, sharp knife and cutting board, small bowl, pastry brush, measuring cups and spoons.
  • You can adapt this recipe using any size head of cabbage. Keep in mind, larger cabbage steaks may take a few minutes longer to bake. Likewise, smaller slices may take less time. Adjust accordingly.
  • Take a moment to trim the core of the cabbage so, it’s level for cutting. Use a large, sharp knife to slice.
  • To lighten this dish up further, use cooking spray or an oil spritzer in place of olive oil.
  • The amount of oil can be adapted to your personal taste.
  • There’s a generous amount of garlic in this dish as we’re huge garlic fans. You can use more, or less according to your personal taste and that of your family.
  • At the end of roasting the cabbage steaks you can turn the oven to broil to char the leaves further. The charred pieces have a slight sweetness that enhances the overall flavor.
  • I recommend cutting the slices about 1 inch thick. Keep in mind that the cabbage will shrink while roasting.
  • Store Roasted Cabbage Steaks chilled in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a non stick skillet on the stovetop over medium heat or chop and toss with smoked sausage and diced cooked potatoes for a delicious round two meal.

  1. Hi Melissa: I assume using red cabbage would work just as well? We received a box in our CSA box recently.

    Loved the seasoning- did not sure the Parmesan and had to use dried parsley. Next time will use a little less salt tho.
