Vegan Baked Cabbage Steaks – Crispy, Flavorful & Easy! 🥬✨

✔ 1 medium green or red cabbage 🥬
✔ 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted vegan butter
✔ 1 teaspoon garlic powder 🧄
✔ ½ teaspoon smoked paprika (adds a smoky depth!)
✔ ½ teaspoon onion powder
✔ ½ teaspoon salt
✔ ¼ teaspoon black pepper
✔ ½ teaspoon dried thyme or oregano (optional)
✔ Juice of ½ lemon (for extra brightness) 🍋
✔ 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast or vegan parmesan (optional for cheesy flavor)

📌 1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
📌 2. Remove any loose outer leaves from the cabbage.
📌 3. Cut the cabbage into thick, ¾-inch slices (steaks), keeping the core intact so they hold together.

💡 Thicker slices stay juicier inside while getting crispy edges!
