# What You’ll Need:

→ For the Cabbage Steaks

01 - 1 large green cabbage
02 - 2 tbsp olive oil
03 - 1 tsp sea salt
04 - ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper

→ For the Jalapeño Chimichurri

05 - 1 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
06 - ¼ cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
07 - 2 jalapeños, seeded and finely chopped
08 - 3 garlic cloves, minced
09 - ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
10 - 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
11 - 1 tsp dried oregano
12 - ½ tsp red pepper flakes
13 - ½ tsp sea salt
14 - ¼ tsp ground black pepper

# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Remove any tough outer leaves from the cabbage. Cut the cabbage into 1-inch thick rounds to form steaks (you should get about 4).
03 - Arrange cabbage steaks on the prepared baking sheet. Brush both sides with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
04 - Roast cabbage steaks in the oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway, until edges are crispy and golden brown.
05 - In a small bowl, combine parsley, cilantro, jalapeños, garlic, olive oil, red wine vinegar, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let sit for at least 10 minutes for flavors to meld.
06 - Once cabbage steaks are roasted, transfer to plates. Spoon generous amounts of jalapeño chimichurri over each steak. Serve immediately, garnished with extra herbs if desired.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The caramelized edges on these cabbage steaks will make you forget you ever thought boiled cabbage was sad
  • That jalapeño chimichurri keeps in the fridge for days and wakes up everything from roasted potatoes to scrambled eggs
02 -
  • Dont rush the flipping step because those caramelized edges are where all the flavor lives
  • Let the chimichurri rest for at least 10 minutes so the flavors have time to meld together properly
03 -
  • Use a very sharp knife to cut those cabbage steaks so they dont crumble apart
  • Let the roasted steaks rest for 5 minutes before serving so they hold their shape better
