Recipes - Cabbage Steaks

Ingredients
For the cabbage:

  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 1 medium head green cabbage (3 to 4 pounds)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
    2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice (about 1 lemon, juiced into a small bowl, be sure to remove any seeds)
  • 1/4 tsp. Spice Krewe Bayou Burn 

For the topping:

  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (or crackers of choice, ground down to nearly a powder)
  • 1 garlic clove, grated
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp. lemon zest
  • 1/4 tsp. Spice Krewe Bayou Burn
  • 1/4 cup sharp cheddar shredded cheese, (or other shredded cheese of choice)

Steps

For the cabbage:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spray a rimmed baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Strip any dark outer leaves off of the cabbage and cut ½ inch of the root end off of the cabbage. With the flat end of the cabbage on the cutting board, slice the cabbage into 1-inch thick “steaks.” Arrange the slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, 1/4 tsp. Spice Krewe Bayou Burn. Brush both sides of the cabbage steaks with the oil mixture. Pour ¼ cup of water onto the baking sheet, trying not to get too much water directly on the cabbage. Tightly cover the baking sheet with foil (or cover baking sheet with a cookie sheet, turned upside down).
  4. Roast the cabbage until tender, 15 to 20 minutes.

For the topping:

  1. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, stir together the breadcrumbs, shredded cheese, butter, garlic, lemon zest, and 1/4 tsp. Spice Krewe Bayou Burn until combined.
  2. Remove the cabbage steaks from the oven and remove the foil.
  3. Sprinkle the cabbage with the breadcrumb mixture and continue roasting (uncovered) until golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes more.

Serve warm.

Notes
Tip: Zest the lemon for the breadcrumbs before juicing it for the steaks!
