I don’t remember where I originally saw roasted cabbage steaks, maybe on Pinterest, maybe in Everyday Food Magazine, either way I know it was Martha Stewart who first implanted this idea in my head and it is genius. So, thank you Martha!
If you love cabbage, you are going to freak out about how good this is. As far as vegan or keto cabbage recipes go, this one is by far a favorite.
Endlessly versatile and truly a side dish that goes with everything, my Roasted Cabbage Steaks are always a winner. In the Fall, I like to pair with Cube Steak recipe and quick green salad for an easy dinner.
Now, if you are on the fence about cabbage, you need to try this because this might be the recipe that converts you to a cabbage lover. Just ask anyone who has tasted the caramelized cabbage leaves and crispy edges!
This is a simple side dish worthy of a dinner party and couldn’t be easier to make.
Four ingredients, a couple of minutes to prepare and toss in the oven for an hour.

What are Cabbage Steaks?
Cabbage steaks are the result of taking a large head of cabbage and cutting from root to top into thick slices otherwise known as “steaks”. You can then season and bake or grill the steaks for a delicious way to prepare cabbage! Baked cabbage steaks are keto, vegan, gluten-free, and best of all – they’re quick and simple to put together.
Do you have to use green cabbage for Cabbage Steaks?
Nope!! You can use red cabbage or any other round head of cabbage you can find.
How do you reheat baked Cabbage Steaks?
The best way to reheat cabbage steaks is to place in a hot cast iron or stainless frying pan for a few minutes per side (medium-low heat) to reheat through. You can microwave them but just know that any crispy edges will get soggy.
Are roasted Cabbage Steaks Vegan and Keto?
Yes! This recipe is vegan and keto-friendly. It’s easy to create your own baked cabbage steak recipes based off of this one that are vegan and keto, as well.
What other Cabbage recipes do you recommend?
You can really get creative with cabbage steak recipes by playing around with spices and flavors. For a main course featuring cabbage, try this Jewish Stuffed Cabbage, Sausage and Cabbage soup or Asian Cabbage Chicken Salad – so good!

I made this last night and it was AMAZZZZINGGG!! No leftovers! I think I am going to make this again, but instead of doing the “steaks” I am going to chop it all up and toss in ingredients and then bake.
Awesome Alicia! đ
Do you really bake it for an hour?
Yep, they get nice and tender, caramelized and crispy bits on the ends. So good đ
My first recipe attempt from your blog! Yum, thanks for the idea… even G ate the edges after I called them cabbage fries.
Love it!!! Cabbage Fries – that is a good maneuver – I’ll have to try that with D!
I love cabbage and garlic and any roasted veggie so I’m sure to love this, Alyssa! What an inspired way to enjoy cabbage. Thank you for sharing it.
The best part is how easy it is!
Cabbage steaks?!? Are you serious? What a great idea! I am not usually a fan of cabbage but I think I’ll have to try them like this!
Can’t wait to hear what you think!
I love roast cabbage! Never served it like steaks, though – I totally love the idea! Super recipe – thanks so much.
You are going to love this then!
I’m intrigued, Alyssa! I’ve had oven-braised cabbage before, and I didn’t care for it, but the garlic here has me sold. I look forward to giving it a try!
I think the crispy edges and caramelization (sp?) is what make it so special Christie. Often, braised cabbage can be watery and flat tasting. Let me know how you like it!
I love cabbage but I’ve never tried roasting it, what a great idea!
Laura, if you love cabbage – you are going to freak for it roasted like this!
You come up with the most interesting and delicious looking vegetable dishes!
Thank you Kristi – that means a lot! đ
