Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit — While it’s heating, cut off the stems of the cabbage heads, then cut each head in half, and then in half again. You’ll get four thick slices of cabbage, about 2 to 2.5 cm thick, from each head.
Step 2: Arrange the cabbage slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between each slice to ensure even cooking.
Step 3: Brush the cabbage slices with olive oil until well coated. Then generously sprinkle the garlic powder, salt, and paprika.
Step 4: Carefully turn the cabbage slices over and repeat the process, brushing them with oil and sprinkling with spices. If you like a little spiciness, now is the time to add a few red pepper flakes.
Step 5: Bake in a preheated oven for approximately 25 minutes, until the leaves are golden brown, the edges are crisp, and the center is soft — Serve while hot.
