Equipment

  • 9x13 baking dish or baking pan
  • sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • measuring spoons
  • aluminum foil
  • Butter knife or small spatula
  • Oven mitts
  • Serving spatula or tongs

Ingredients
  

  • 1 small-medium green cabbage head
  • 4-6 0z butter thinly sliced
  • Avocado oil to grease pan
  • Salt black pepper, paprika, red pepper flakes to taste
  • 1 small onion optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13 baking pan with avocado oil. Season the bottom of the pan with salt, pepper, paprika, and red pepper flakes.
  • Remove outer leaves from cabbage. Place on a cutting board and slice into ¾–1 inch thick steaks. (As the cabbage cooks down and softens in the butter, the slices naturally fall apart a bit anyway. I usually take a pair of tongs at the end and gently toss everything together before serving anyway)
  • Arrange cabbage steaks in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Distribute butter slices evenly across the top of the cabbage steaks.
  • Re-season the top with salt, pepper, paprika, and red pepper flakes.
  • Cover with aluminum foil and bake at 350°F for 40 minutes, or until cabbage is tender. Remove foil for the last 10 minutes for crispier edges.
  • Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

For garlic butter variation: mix softened butter with garlic powder or fresh minced garlic before spreading over cabbage.
Add parmesan cheese during the last 10 minutes for a cheesy finish.
