Ingredients
  

1 large green cabbage

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

¼ teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon olive oil

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Lemon wedges (for serving, optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Prepare the Cabbage: Remove any loose or damaged outer leaves from the cabbage. Slice it into 1-inch thick steaks, ensuring you cut through the core to keep the steaks intact. You should be able to get about 4-5 steaks from one cabbage.

      Make the Garlic Butter: In a small saucepan over low heat, add the butter, minced garlic, dried thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir continuously until the butter is melted, and the garlic is fragrant (around 2-3 minutes). Remove from heat.

        Oil the Baking Sheet: Drizzle olive oil over a large baking sheet and use a brush or a paper towel to spread it evenly.

          Arrange the Cabbage Steaks: Lay the cabbage steaks flat on the baking sheet. Brush each side generously with the garlic butter mixture.

            Bake the Cabbage: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping the cabbage steaks halfway through cooking, until they are tender and beautifully browned.

              Serve: Once done, remove from the oven and transfer to serving plates. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm with lemon wedges on the side if desired.

                Enjoy: Dive into the rich, buttery flavor and enjoy the delightful textures of these baked cabbage steaks!
