Notes
✅ Cut Evenly: Ensure all cabbage slices are the same thickness for even cooking.
✅ Use Fresh Cabbage: Fresh, firm cabbage gives the best texture.
✅ Don’t Overcrowd: Place steaks in a single layer for proper roasting.
✅ Flip Halfway: Flipping helps caramelize both sides evenly.
✅ Use High Heat: Roasting at 400°F-425°F ensures crispy edges.
✅ Experiment with Toppings: Try adding cheese, nuts, or balsamic glaze for extra flavor.
✅ Make it Spicy: Add red pepper flakes or cayenne for heat.
✅ Air Fryer Option: Cook at 375°F for 15 minutes, flipping halfway for extra crispiness.
