Equipment

  • Rimmed sheet pan
  • Parchment paper
  • Chef's knife
  • Cutting board
  • Small bowl
  • Pastry brush
  • Wide spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 1 small head green cabbage about 900 g / 2 lb
  • 3 Tbsp unsalted butter melted (olive oil works for dairy-free)
  • 3 cloves garlic finely minced (about 9 g)
  • 3/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2–2/3 cup Parmesan cheese finely grated (50–60 g)
  • 1 lemon wedge optional, for serving
  • 1–2 Tbsp flat-leaf parsley chopped, optional

Instructions
 

  • Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 190°C / 375°F. Line a rimmed sheet pan with parchment.
  • Peel off any ragged outer leaves. Trim the very bottom of the core just enough to make it tidy, but keep the core intact. Slice the cabbage crosswise into 2.5 cm / 1-inch thick rounds (you’ll usually get about 4 good center steaks). Save loose end pieces for another use.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the melted butter, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Lay the cabbage steaks on the sheet pan. Brush the tops generously with the garlic butter.
  • Sprinkle about half the Parmesan over the tops and press it in lightly so it sticks.
  • Use a wide spatula (or two) to flip each steak. Brush the second side with the remaining garlic butter. Sprinkle with the rest of the Parmesan and press again.
  • Roast for 35–45 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through, until the Parmesan is deeply golden, the edges are browned, and a knife slips into the thickest part with only a little resistance.
  • Optional: broil for 1–2 minutes to darken the cheese slightly (watch closely).
  • Serve right away with a squeeze of lemon and chopped parsley if using.
