Ingredients

Cabbage Steaks

  • 1 head cabbage
  • 1 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce (substitute tamari for gluten-free)
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, but it adds a nice touch)

Creamy Sauce

  • ½ cup vegan mayo (substitute plain vegan yogurt)
  • 3 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 teaspoon vinegar (white or white wine vinegar)
  • 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
  • pinch of salt and pepper

Serving

  • ¼ cup vegan bacon

Instructions

  • Place cabbage on a cutting board and cut off the root end to create a flat surface. Slice the cabbage into ¾ inch slices.
    A hand uses a knife to cut cabbage in slices on a cutting board.
  • Zest and juice the lemon. You should have 3 teaspoons of zest and 3 tablespoons of juice.
  • Combine the olive oil with seasonings, the lemon zest, and the lemon juice. Brush on both sides of the cabbage slices.
    A hand brushes dressing over cabbage steaks on a prepared pan.

Oven Roasted

  • Oven Roasted: Preheat oven to 400°F/200°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place herbed cabbage slices on the parchment paper-lined pan. Roast for 25 minutes, using tongs to flip them about half way through. They should be golden around the edges.

Grilled Cabbage Steaks

  • Preheat grill to 350°F/175°C and brush grates with oil to prevent sticking.
  • Place cabbage steaks on the grill and cook for 5 to 6 minutes. Use tongs to flip and brush additional seasoning as necessary. Cook until crispy and golden-brown outside and tender on the inside.

For the Creamy Sauce:

  • Combine the ingredients in a bowl and stir to combine.

For Serving:

  • Place cooked cabbage steaks on a plate and drizzle with the creamy sauce. Top with crumbled vegan bacon.
