Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Garlic Butter Roasted Cabbage Steaks
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Remove any wilted outer leaves from the cabbage head and slice it into 1-inch thick 'steaks'. Aim for about four pieces.
  3. Pat each cabbage steak dry with a kitchen towel or paper towel.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine softened unsalted butter, minced garlic, fresh thyme, lemon juice, and a pinch of sea salt. Mix until smooth.
  5. Generously brush the garlic butter mixture onto both sides of each cabbage steak.
  6. Place the cabbage steaks on a lined baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart. Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  7. Once done, remove from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

Ensure each cabbage steak is thoroughly dried before brushing on the garlic butter for optimal crispiness. Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to prevent steaming. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
