Thick cabbage slices roasted until golden with garlic, smoked paprika and lemon for a hearty, vibrant vegan side.
# What You'll Need:
→ Vegetables
01 - 1 large green cabbage, trimmed
→ Seasonings & Oil
02 - 3 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 3 garlic cloves, minced
04 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
05 - 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
06 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
→ Finishing
07 - 1 lemon, zested and juiced
08 - 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)
# How To Make It:
01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Remove any tough outer leaves, place the cabbage core-side down, and slice from top to bottom into 1-inch thick steaks; expect 4–5 steaks depending on cabbage size.
03 - Place the cabbage steaks in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, allowing space so edges can crisp.
04 - In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, sea salt and black pepper until combined.
05 - Brush the oil mixture generously over both sides of each cabbage steak so surfaces are evenly coated.
06 - Roast for 15 minutes, carefully flip each steak, then continue roasting 12–15 minutes more until the faces are golden and the outer leaves are crisp.
07 - Remove from oven, immediately drizzle with lemon juice, sprinkle with lemon zest and chopped parsley if using, then serve hot as a side or light main.
