This is one of my family’s favorite ways to eat cabbage, it makes a wonderful side dish for almost any meal. Roasting vegetables brings out some amazing flavors, and the high temperature of the oven caramelizes the natural sugars in the vegetables. It is my go-to side dish for our St. Patrick’s Day meal to serve alongside Baked Corned Beef Brisket.
Cabbage is so good for you, it’s packed with nutrients and just full of Vitamin B6, C, and K. I love it when cabbage is on sale in March. I always purchase several heads so I can make Ramen Salad, Cabbage Steaks, Baked Cabbage and Bacon, and Cabbage Soup.
To create Cabbage Steaks, take a whole head of cabbage and cut it into thick slices, otherwise known as “steaks”. I prefer them to be about 1/2 inch thick, you will need to adjust your cooking time if you make them thicker or thinner.
Bake until the outside edges become caramelized and the outer leaves start to get dark and crispy. The crispy edges are the best part. You can even broil it for a couple of minutes to get some darker pieces.
The cooking time can vary depending on how big the cabbage is and how thick it is cut. Smaller cabbages can take as little as 25 minutes, while larger ones can be close to an hour. When the stem can be easily pierced with a fork and the cabbage is tender, it is done. Serve immediately, while still hot from the oven.
