Open in Pepper →A cabbage costs next to nothing and sits in the fridge for weeks, and when you slice it thick and let it roast, the edges go brown and sweet and nobody at the table calls it health food.
Cooks on Pepper reach for these on the nights the meat is already in the oven and the side dish still needs to happen, or when the crisper drawer is down to one lonely head of cabbage.
Every recipe here starts with that head: garlic-rubbed Cabbage Steaks, Grilled Cabbage Steaks brushed with olive oil, Roasted Cabbage Wedges with caraway, Balsamic Roasted Cabbage with onion and lemon, and Roasted Cabbage with Horseradish Cream.
Cut through the core
Stand the head stem-side down and slice 1-inch slabs straight through the core so each steak holds together instead of falling into shreds.
Get the pan hot
Roast at 425°F on a preheated sheet pan so the bottom side browns while the top softens, about 25 to 30 minutes.
Oil both sides
Brush 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil over each cut face; dry cabbage turns papery instead of caramelizing.
Flip once, halfway
Turn the steaks at about the 15-minute mark with a wide spatula so both sides get color and the edges crisp evenly.
