👩‍🍳 Instructions

STEP 1: CHOP THE CABBAGE

• Cut the Stem of the Cabbage. Now, cut it into half, and each half into another half. This will get you Cabbage discs which are about 1 inch thick.

STEP 2: SEASON THE CABBAGE DISCS

• Carefully place these Cabbage discs in a greased baking dish
• Grease them again with Olive Oil
• Combine all the spices in a bowl and sprinkle over the discs.
• Flip the Cabbage disc and repeat.
• Apply melted Vegan butter and Hot Sauce on top
• Sprinkle the crushed Saltine Crackers on top.

STEP 3: BAKE THE CABBAGE STEAKS

• Bake the Cabbage Steaks @420F for 25 minutes or until the leaves are browned and the center is soft.

STEP 4: SERVE

• Garnish these Roasted Cabbage Steaks with Vegan Ranch or any Creamy dressing of your choice and serve.

💯 TIPS

• Choosing the Perfect Cabbage - You need to choose the perfect shaped Cabbage which is tight in the center. Also, make sure that the Cabbage is fresh as it will cook faster and shall remain juicier after getting roasted. If your Cabbage Steak gets chewy, its probably because you're using a Cabbage which is pretty stale.
• Season as per your Taste - If you're not into very spicy food, skip out on the Hot Sauce. Rather mix some Brown Sugar along with the seasoning and use it.
• Don't skip the Butter - Butter will make these Cabbage steaks extra crispy and buttery. Generously apply butter over the Cabbage steaks. If you want you can use melted Garlic Butter as well.

🧊 Storage

You can easily store these Cabbage Steaks in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. However, remember to reheat them in the oven before serving.
