3-Step Execution Protocol

1
Preheat & Prep

Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Arrange roasted cabbage steaks (1-inch thick wedges) (One head of green or savoy cabbage cut through the core into 1-inch thick steaks, brushed with olive oil on both sides, salted, arranged in a single layer) on a parchment-lined sheet pan in a single layer.

2
Cook & Flip

Cook for 28–32 mins. Flip at the 18-minute mark for even browning.

3
Check & Rest

The flat cut faces are deeply browned with charred lacy edges; the core is fork-tender all the way through; and the outer leaves have gone crisp like kale chips. Rest for 0 minutes before serving.

Verification Basis & Testing Rig

No internal temperature target — cabbage steaks are judged by cut-face caramelization and fork-tender core, so the field is omitted rather than guessed (HR-2). The 28–32 minute window at 425°F reflects the time needed for the core, which is the last part to soften, to become tender through a 1-inch steak.

Pro Tip: Cut through the core, not around it. The core is the only thing holding the leaves together as concentric rings — cut it out and the steak falls apart into wilted strips halfway through cooking. A steak with the core intact stays a steak, and the core softens enough to eat by the time the leaves are crisp.
