Baked Cabbage Steaks Tips
Here are a few tips to help you make the best-baked cabbage steaks possible:
- Use a sharp knife to cut your cabbage steaks. This will help ensure that they’re evenly cooked.
- If you’re using a head of cabbage, be sure to remove the core before cutting the steaks. The core can be tough and difficult to eat.
- Season your cabbage steaks with salt, pepper, and any other spices or herbs you like. I like to add a little garlic powder for extra flavor.
- When baking, be sure to place the cabbage steaks on a lightly oiled baking sheet. This will help prevent them from sticking and burning.
- Bake your cabbage steaks at a high temperature, around 400 degrees Fahrenheit. This will help them get nice and crispy on the outside.
- Serve your baked cabbage steaks with your favorite toppings. I like to top mine with cheese and sour cream, but you can really use whatever you like.
I hope you enjoy these baked cabbage steaks! They’re a delicious and healthy way to enjoy one of my favorite vegetables. Thanks for reading!

- Swap out the regular cabbage for red cabbage or savoy cabbage. Both of these varieties will work well in this recipe.
- Instead of topping your baked cabbage steaks with cheese and sour cream, try using a different combination of toppings. grilled chicken or shrimp would be great, or you could even top them with a simple vinaigrette.

How do you cut and cook cabbage?
- After removing any damaged cabbage leaves, rinse well.
- Take a sharp knife and cut lengthwise to the core of the cabbage.
- For cabbage steaks, continue to cut ¾ inch slices. For other recipes, cut them into small pieces.
- Cook by roasting, frying, or grilling.
How do you know when the cabbage is done?
The edges of the cabbage steaks will begin becoming crispy and darker in color. They should be tender and easy to cut through when they’re done.
Do you cook cabbage covered or uncovered?
Leave the roasted cabbage steaks uncovered when cooking. This allows them to cook quickly and more evenly. If you do cover the cabbage steaks, they will become soggier instead of crispy.
How to Store and Reheat
Keep refrigerated for up to 2–3 days. It should be airtight and reheat in the oven at 325 degrees for 8–12 minutes or until hot.
How to Keep Cabbage From Tasting Bitter
Sometimes cabbage does take on a bitter taste, but there are a couple of things you can do.
