Spiced Honey Cabbage Steaks

Cabbage steaks have been a welcome thing for a couple of years. Sometimes I’m super yay about them and sometimes I feel unenthusiastic. It’s a challenge to find ways to keep our veggies sexy, am I right? I had some whole green cabbages on hand so I was playing around with a fresh take on the cabbage steak. You can def use red cabbage here. The gist of this recipe is to spice rub the cabbage, roast, remove from oven, drizzle with honey, and roast for a bit more. Just a few simple steps. The results yielded a sweet and savory side that gave this concept a facelift. Who among us, vegetables included, doesn’t need the occasional bump in glam?

Ingredients:
One head of cabbage cut into thick slices, about 1 1/2 inch slices
1/2 tsp EACH kosher salt, pepper, turmeric, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme
2 tbsp extra Virgin olive oil
A couple spoons of honey (I drizzled from bottle)

Oven at 400 on bake or roast. Mix the spices and oil in a bowl to make a paste. Rub cabbage steaks carefully on both sides and edges with the spice mixture. Take care so as not to tear the leaves. Roast in a sprayed pan for 15 minutes. Remove, drizzle each piece lightly with honey, and roast for an additional 20 minutes. No need to flip. The cabbage should be fork tender and caramelized. Remove carefully with a spatula. This makes 6 to 8 servings, depending of the size of the cabbage.
