Ingredients
  

1 large green cabbage

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

¼ teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon olive oil

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Lemon wedges (for serving, optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures a hot cooking environment for the cabbage steaks.

    Prepare the Cabbage: Carefully remove any loose or damaged outer leaves from the cabbage. Place the cabbage on a cutting board and slice it into 1-inch thick steaks, making sure to cut through the core to keep the steaks intact. From one large cabbage, you should yield about 4-5 steaks.

      Make the Garlic Butter: In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the unsalted butter, minced garlic, dried thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir continuously for about 2-3 minutes until the butter has melted and the garlic becomes fragrant. Once done, remove the saucepan from the heat and set it aside.

        Oil the Baking Sheet: Drizzle olive oil over a large baking sheet. Use a brush or a paper towel to spread the oil evenly across the surface, ensuring the cabbage steaks won’t stick.

          Arrange the Cabbage Steaks: Lay the cabbage steaks flat on the prepared baking sheet. Generously brush each side of the steaks with the aromatic garlic butter mixture, allowing the flavors to seep into the cabbage.

            Bake the Cabbage: Place the baking sheet into the preheated oven. Bake the cabbage steaks for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time. They should come out tender and beautifully caramelized.

              Serve: Once the cabbage steaks are finished baking, carefully remove them from the oven. Transfer the steaks to serving plates and garnish with fresh chopped parsley. If desired, serve with lemon wedges on the side for a refreshing zing.

                Enjoy: Relish the rich, buttery notes of these baked cabbage steaks, complemented by their delightful textures.
