Method

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and position a rack in the middle of the oven.
Remove any tough or damaged outer leaves from the cabbage and discard.
Slice the cabbage into 1-inch thick rounds.
Arrange the cabbage steaks in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet, using parchment paper for easier cleanup.
Drizzle olive oil over both sides of each steak and rub it around to coat evenly.
Season with salt, pepper, and optional seasonings like garlic powder or paprika, be generous at the edges.

Cooking

Roast for 12–15 minutes until the bottom edges begin to brown.
Flip each steak carefully and roast for another 12–15 minutes until the new edges are crispy and the centers are tender.
If using Parmesan, sprinkle it on now and return to the oven for 3–5 minutes to melt.
Remove from the oven and serve hot.
