Vegan Baked Cabbage Steaks

Remove any loose or damaged outer leaves from the cabbage.
Slice the cabbage into 1-inch thick steaks, being careful to keep the core intact to hold the slices together.
3. Season the Steaks:
Place the cabbage steaks on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Brush both sides of each steak with olive oil.
In a small bowl, mix the garlic powder, smoked paprika, cumin, chili flakes, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle the seasoning mix evenly over both sides of the cabbage steaks.
4. Bake the Cabbage Steaks:
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Carefully flip the steaks using a spatula, then bake for another 15–20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crispy.
5. Garnish and Serve:
Sprinkle with fresh parsley or cilantro for a burst of color and flavor.
Serve with lemon wedges for a zesty finish.
Serving Suggestions:
Pair with a creamy tahini or vegan ranch dressing as a dipping sauce.
Serve alongside roasted potatoes, quinoa, or a hearty salad for a complete meal.
Top with toasted nuts, seeds, or vegan parmesan for added texture.
Tips for Success:
Even Cooking: Try to slice the cabbage steaks as evenly as possible to ensure they cook at the same rate.
Crispier Edges: Broil for the last 2–3 minutes for extra crispiness.
Customizable Spices: Experiment with your favorite seasonings like Italian herbs, curry powder, or nutritional yeast.
