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!
