# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It turns an everyday cabbage into something you'd proudly serve at a dinner party.
  • The roasting brings out a natural sweetness you didn't know was hiding in there.
  • It's ready in 40 minutes and uses ingredients you probably already have.
  • The contrast between crispy edges and tender centers is wildly satisfying.
02 -
  • Don't skip the flip halfway through or one side stays pale and chewy instead of crisp.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the steaks cleanly through the core, it's what holds everything together.
  • If your feta is too crumbly, warm it slightly before sprinkling so it melts into creamy pockets.
03 -
  • Brush the parchment paper lightly with oil before laying down the cabbage to prevent sticking.
  • If you want extra char, finish the steaks under the broiler for 2 minutes, but watch them like a hawk.
  • Season again lightly after drizzling the glaze, a pinch of flaky salt on top makes all the difference.
