Golden Cheesy Baked Cabbage Steaks with Garlic Parmesan transform an everyday vegetable into a savory, satisfying side dish. Thick slices of green cabbage are brushed with seasoned garlic butter, roasted until tender and caramelized, then finished with a generous layer of bubbling mozzarella and Parmesan.
High-heat roasting is the secret to getting the best flavor from cabbage. As the steaks cook, the edges become deeply golden and slightly crisp while the centers turn tender and almost buttery. Keeping the core intact helps each thick slice hold together from the baking sheet to the serving plate.
Garlic, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, and onion powder give the cabbage plenty of savory flavor before the cheese is even added. Mozzarella provides that irresistible stretchy melt, while freshly grated Parmesan contributes a salty, nutty finish and helps create beautifully browned spots on top.
Ready in about 45 minutes, these cheesy cabbage steaks make an excellent accompaniment to roasted chicken, steak, fish, or pasta. They can also be served as a satisfying meatless dish with a fresh salad, crusty bread, or your favorite dipping sauce.
