# What You'll Need:
→ Vegetables
01 - 1 large green cabbage, core intact
→ Seasonings & Oil
02 - 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
03 - 3 garlic cloves, minced
04 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
05 - 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
06 - 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
→ Finishing
07 - 1 lemon, zested and juiced
08 - 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
# How to Prepare:
01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Remove any tough outer leaves and trim the stem if needed to stabilize the cabbage. Slice the cabbage from top to bottom into 1-inch thick steaks; you should yield about 4–5 steaks depending on the head size.
03 - Place the cabbage steaks in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between pieces for even browning.
04 - In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper until combined.
05 - Brush the oil and spice mixture generously on both sides of each cabbage steak so the edges and surfaces are well coated.
06 - Roast the cabbage in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Carefully flip each steak and roast for an additional 12 to 15 minutes, or until the surfaces are golden and the edges are crisp.
07 - Remove the steaks from the oven, drizzle immediately with the lemon juice, sprinkle with lemon zest and chopped parsley if using, and serve hot.
