Being of German and Ukrainian heritage mainly, my inherent love for cabbage rolls and other traditional foods has been part of my life for as long as I can remember.
I chose to cut tomato sauces, bacon, hamburger, butter, and other from my diet about 5 years ago—although I sure do miss them. I might indulge on very special occasions, albeit very rarely. So how does one still reap the benefits of cabbage if they're not a fan of it raw in coleslaw?
I've been searching for gut healthy cabbage recipes as an alternative to the traditional cabbage rolls and other I crave. Stumbled upon the following recipe which you may also enjoy. Recommend organic cabbage, organic pepper, and so on.
Garlic Rubbed Roasted Cabbage Steaks
Ingredients:
- 1 head green cabbage
- 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 to 3 large garlic cloves, smashed
- Kosher salt (optional)
- Organic black pepper
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400F (205C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pull outer leaves off the cabbage, and cut it into 1" thick slices starting at the top (the end farthest from the root).
- Use a pastry brush to evenly spread olive oil over both sides of the cabbage slices.
- Rub both sides of each slice with garlic.
- Sprinkle each side with a bit of Kosher salt if desired, and black pepper.
- Roast on the middle rack of oven for 30 minutes. Carefully flip the cabbage steaks and roast for about an additional 30 minutes, checking to make sure they don’t start to burn at the edges.
Serve hot and enjoy!
