Crispy Parmesan Roasted Cabbage Steaks

• Serves: 4
• Prep Time: 10 minutes
• Cook Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
• 3 Tablespoons olive oil (or avocado oil)
• 1 Tablespoon dried Italian seasoning
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper

• 1 head green cabbage, cut into 8 thick slices

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, mix together Parmesan cheese, oil, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and paprika.
