Substitutions & Variations

- Spicy Option: Add chili flakes or a pinch of cayenne pepper. Or, drizzle with hot honey after roasting.
- Italian Seasoning Swap: If you don’t have Italian seasoning, use ⅛ teaspoon of dried oregano, ⅛ teaspoon of dried basil, and a pinch of dried thyme.
How To Make Roasted Cabbage Steaks with Parmesan
- Slice the cabbage into ¾-1-inch steaks. Keep the core intact so they hold together.
- Place the cabbage steaks on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Lightly spray both sides with olive oil. Then, season both sides with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Roast the cabbage steaks at 400°F for 25 minutes. Then, carefully flip the cabbage steaks.
- Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over top, and roast for another 10-15 minutes, until golden and crispy.
- Serve warm with fresh lemon if desired, and enjoy!
Expert Tips
- Use Parchment Paper: Line your baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and better browning.
- Don’t Overcrowd: Don’t overcrowd the sheet pan with cabbage steaks. Instead, cook them in batches if needed, or use two sheet pans.
- Extra Crispy: For extra crispy roasted cabbage steaks, broil for 2-3 minutes at the end, but keep an eye on them so they don’t burn.
Serving Suggestions
These roasted cabbage steaks are incredibly versatile and pair well with so many dishes! We love to serve them with warm marinara sauce. Try our healthy homemade marinara sauce, roasted tomato sauce, and slow cooker tomato sauce. Or, pair with your favorite proteins like our air fryer chicken breast, air fryer salmon, or air fryer pork chops for a balanced meal.
These also pair well with our spinach and feta turkey burgers, cottage cheese turkey burgers, or chicken parmesan burgers. They’re also delicious with our healthy baked chicken parmesan or Crockpot Marry Me Chicken.
For a lighter meal, chop the cabbage and add it to a salad, wrap, or a bowl with rice or quinoa to keep it low-carb. They’re also great for breakfast! Chop the cabbage and add it to an egg scramble, or top with a fried or poached egg, sliced avocado, and hot sauce.
Storage Instructions
Store leftover roasted cabbage steaks with Parmesan in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 1-2 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer until heated through and crispy.

Hi Amy, this makes me so happy to hear! I’m so glad you enjoyed the roasted cabbage steaks. Serving them alongside leftover pork chops sounds absolutely delicious! Thank you so much for sharing how you enjoyed the recipe and for leaving a review!
I have to tell you… These roasted cabbage steaks completely surprised me in the best way. They are so easy to make, and somehow turn a simple head of cabbage into something seriously delicious.
When they roast, the edges get perfectly crispy while the inside becomes soft and almost buttery. A little seasoning and some Parmesan on top, and it’s just one of those recipes that feels way fancier than it actually is. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
