Ingredients:
For the Cabbage Steaks:
- 1 large head of cabbage
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Garlic Breadcrumbs:
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt to taste
Additional:
- Lemon wedges for serving
- Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage. Cut the cabbage into 1-inch thick slices, ensuring each slice remains intact with the core.
- Brush both sides of each cabbage steak with olive oil. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Arrange the cabbage steaks in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and the center is tender.
- While the cabbage is roasting, prepare the garlic breadcrumbs. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add the breadcrumbs to the skillet. Stir frequently until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and crispy. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley. Season with salt to taste.
- Once the cabbage steaks are roasted, transfer them to a serving platter. Sprinkle the garlic breadcrumbs over the top of each cabbage steak.
- If desired, garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
