Ingredient Notes
- Green Cabbage: Choose a firm, heavy head of cabbage with tightly packed leaves for the best texture. Opt for a medium or large green cabbage for more evenly sliced rounds.
- Olive Oil: Helps the surface brown and keeps the leaves from drying out while roasting. Replace with a neutral cooking oil like avocado oil if needed.
- Seasonings: A pinch of salt and pepper brings out the cabbage’s natural flavors. For extra flavor, sprinkle with fresh parsley or thyme before serving, or swap in dill, chives, or rosemary.
- Melted Butter (Optional): Drizzle over the roasted cabbage steaks for a richer, more indulgent finish.
