This simply put, changed my mind about cabbage forever. If you’ve been following us for a while, you know we love our veggie steak sides in this house and cabbage is no exception. This recipe and method brings out the flavor of the cabbage and you just want to keep eating.
I made it two ways as options for a yummy pizza situation and a more grown up Mediterranean style with pesto and feta. Both taste incredible but the pizza is my favorite only because I am a pizza fanatic.
If you like this recipe you will love my Cheesy Cauliflower Steaks and my Cauliflower Pizza Steaks. All delicious and easy to make side dishes we devour at dinner or for a snack!

Ingredients
Cabbage Steaks:
- 1 green cabbage
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/2 tsp each garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, chili powder, Italian herb blend
- salt and pepper to taste
Optional Toppings:
- 1/4 cup marinara (or pesto)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella
- 2 oz mini pepperonis (or feta cheese + baby peppers)
- dried oregano
- chili pepper flakes
Instructions
Cabbage:
Preheat your oven to 425℉ and line your large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
DO NOT trim your cabbage stem/core – leave it intact. Slice your cabbage first in half, then into thick slices. You should end up with 6 or 7 slices/steaks.
In a glass measure cup combine the olive oil, grated parm, spices listed and salt and pepper to taste. Brush this mixture on both sides of each cabbage piece and bake for 30 minutes or until golden.
Toppings:
Top each steak with 1 tbs of either the marinara or pesto and spread out evenly with the back of your spoon. Sprinkle with mozzarella and top with pepperoni (or feta and min red peppers), dried oregano and chili pepper flakes. Pop back in the oven until cheese is melted – a few minutes.

Delicious! Based on some of the comments, I marinated the cabbage steaks for about 30 minutes before putting in the oven. I cooked them for about 20 minutes and then covered them with tinfoil for about 40 minutes before adding the toppings.
Turned out great and yummy!
Thanks for a great recipe!- Reply

Hi Stella, I’m always looking for simple vegie recipes and this one is really delicious. As you suggested I cooked the steaks a little longer for tenderness.
Super delicious…I could not stop eating it.
Thank you for all your beautiful yummy recipes.

I used pepper, garlic/onion power and olive oil to bake them. Took about 40m, then put the sauce, pepperoni and cheese on top. It made 6 and my husband ate 3 of them! It was delicious!

This was another wonderful recipe. Cabbage is so versatile, thank you for inspiring me to use it in this way! Loved it. Topping was marinara, mozzarella, green onion and mushroom.

I would suggest letting the cabbage steak marinate in oil for 30 minutes. I would add thyme or rosemary for flavor. I would probably try this one on the BBQ.
I would experiment with different textures by adding crunchy toppings like toasted breadcrumbs or chopped nuts along with the cheese.
I would add caramelized onions or roasted cherry tomatoes. Garnish with fresh herbs or a drizzle of balsamic glaze.

I would think this would fall through the grates on the grill as cabbage gets soft- that’s why the parchment in pan.

I love cabbage, and the recipe looks delicious. The problem I have is I can’t eat it crunchy because I can’t chew, and digest el Dante food of any kind. Can you give a suggestion or two, please

HI Margaret, simply par roast/bake for longer.. try 35 minutes if that is still too tough, then do 40-45 minutes. Mine wasn’t crunchy though because I dont’ like undercooked cabbage

Which way to cut the cabbage?
- Reply
- Stella
Hi Patricia, first in the center, leaving the entire stem intact, then slicing the “steaks”

Isn’t the stem too tough to eat?

Made this for my family and they absolutely loved it. I cooked as per instruction then left it in the oven while we “had a drink”. It was fantastic. Fully cooked and flavours blended. Am going to do this again and play with different flavours.
