Ingredients
- 1 large head red cabbage
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 6 tablespoons freshly grated parmesan cheese divided
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar divided
Optional Garnish
- fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- Remove any tough outer leaves from the cabbage. Slice the cabbage into 1-inch thick rounds, making "steaks." Try to keep the core intact to hold the slices together.
- Place the cabbage steaks on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each steak with olive oil, using about ½ Tablespoon per steak.
- Season the cabbage steaks with salt and pepper to taste.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and roast the cabbage steaks for 25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crispy, and the cabbage is tender when pierced with a fork.
- Remove the cabbage steaks from the oven and top with 1 Tablespoon parmesan cheese and 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar on each steak.
- Return to the oven and roast for an additional 5-8 minutes or until parmesan cheese is melted.
- Remove from the oven and top with fresh parsley. Serve.
- Serve the roasted cabbage steaks hot as a flavorful side dish or a light vegetarian main course.

Notes
- Don’t microwave the leftovers: Reheating the cabbage in the microwave can make it limp and mushy. I recommend using an air fryer or oven to reheat leftovers and preserve the texture.
- Cut the cabbage into wedges: If you would like smaller pieces, make roasted red cabbage wedges instead of steaks. Keep an eye on them in the oven because they make take less time to cook.
- Use good quality ingredients: Good parmesan and high-quality balsamic vinegar will ensure that you have the best-tasting result.
