Baked Cabbage Steaks Recipe

Cabbage is a highly versatile vegetable that can be steamed, sauteed, pickled, fermented, or eaten raw. But cutting a head of cabbage into slicesor "Steaks"Might be one of the most creative ways to use it. Up until now, you have most likely only shredded it to be cooked down (like for corned beef and cabbage) or to serve raw in a coleslaw. But roasting cabbage steaks gives them a caramelized quality with soft interiors and crispy edges. The secret to giving them great flavor is a liberal brushing of olive oil on both sides, some good high heat, and enough time in the oven for them to reach the right meltingly tender texture. Such quick prep gives you plenty of time to make a great lemony, garlicky dressing to pour over the cabbage steaks. The bright acidic flavor of the dressing is the perfect complement to this roasted vegetable with bonus points for being healthy, low-carb, and gluten-free. Cabbage is also a good source of dietary fiber, vitamin k and vitamin c. Use these steaks as a creative side dish for meat lovers and as a delicious meat substitute for vegetarians.
