Cut the stems off the cabbage heads and then cut each one in half, then in half again. You should have four flat discs of cabbage that are about ¾ to 1 inch thick from each head.
Place the cabbage steaks on a baking sheet that is lined with parchment paper, allowing some space between each one to even cooking.
Brush the cabbage with the olive oil, coating them thoroughly. Then generously sprinkle the salt, garlic powder, and paprika on the cabbage steaks.
Flip the cabbage over and repeat, brushing them with oil and sprinkling the seasonings. Then add a pinch of red pepper flakes to each one, if desired.
Bake the cabbage steaks at 400°F for about 25 minutes, until the leaves are browned and the center is tender. Serve hot out of the oven.
What you’ll need
Cabbage. Green cabbage is best for this dish, but you could also use red cabbage if you want.
Olive oil. This is the oil I like to use with this recipe, but you can also use other kinds of oil, including avocado, canola, or sunflower oil.
Spices. Salt, garlic powder, and paprika are all you’ll need for flavor.
Red pepper flakes. This is optional, if you’d like an added bit of heat.
What to Serve it with

With other grains. Quinoa, bulgur, millet, barley, farro, and wheat are just a few of the options that this Cabbage Curry tastes great with. I especially love this Spinach Rice.
Topped with tofu. Diced and sauteed tofu tastes delicious on top of these.
