Ingredients
- 1 large green or red cabbage
- 3 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
- Remove damaged outer leaves from the cabbage and slice it into ¾-inch thick rounds, keeping the core intact.
- In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, thyme, salt, and black pepper, then brush this mixture onto both sides of each cabbage steak.
