Garlic Rubbed Roasted Cabbage Steaks

Garlic Rubbed Roasted Cabbage Steaks
 

Here is a healthy, hearty and delicious vegan delight that features two of the healthiest plants on the planet:  cabbage and garlic. If you have never tired cabbage cooked in butter or olive oil, you simply must give this a try!

Ingredients
1 head of organic green cabbage (appx. 2 lbs), cut into 1" thick slices
1 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or butter plus extra oil to coat baking sheet
2 to 3 large smashed garlic cloves
Himalayan or sea salt
freshly ground black pepper
(As always, choose organic content and fresh content as much as possible for the healthiest recipe. Also, wash all fruits and vegetables before cutting or adding to the recipe.)
Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375F and coat a baking sheet with olive oil

2. Pull outer leaf off cabbage, cut cabbage from top to bottom (bottom being root) into 1" thick slices.

3. Rub both sides of cabbage with smashed garlic

4. Use a pastry brush to evenly spread the olive oil over both sides of the cabbage slices.

5. Finally, sprinkle each side with a bit of kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper.

6. Roast on the middle rack for 25 minutes. Carefully flip the cabbage steaks and roast for an additional 25 minutes until edges are brown and crispy.

Note: a nice optional condiment would be adding balsamic vinegar on the top when finished cooking.
