Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 2 medium cabbage heads (green cabbage, not purple)
- 3 tbsp olive oil (or avocado oil if you prefer)
- Salt to taste (I used table salt)
- Ground black pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp turmeric powder
- 2 tsp smoked paprika
- Fresh thyme leaves
- Lemon wedges (to serve with, or if you prefer, lime wedges.)
Instructions
- 1
Cut the stems off the cabbage heads and then cut each one in half, then in half again. You should have 6 flat discs of cabbage that are about ¾ to 1 inch thick from each head (or 4 if your cabbage is small). Place the cabbage steaks on a baking sheet that is lined with parchment paper, allowing some space between each one to even cook.

Brush the cabbage with olive oil, coating them thoroughly. Then generously sprinkle the salt, pepper, garlic powder, turmeric, and smoked paprika on the cabbage steaks. Flip the cabbage over and repeat, brushing them with oil and sprinkling the seasonings. Then add a pinch of red pepper flakes to each one (optional).
