Ingredients

  • 1 Medium Green Cabbage
  • 1/2 Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 Cloves Garlic - Pressed
  • 1/4 tsp Smoked Paprika
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • Pepper
  • 8 Tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese - Divided
  • 3 Slices Bacon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400℉. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper, sprayed with non-stick spray.
  • Pull off any outer or damaged leaves of cabbage. With the "stem" of the cabbage horizontal to the cutting board, slice the top off the cabbage. Continue to slice two 1" thick "steaks".
  • On the prepared baking sheet, sprinkle 2 Tablespoons of Parmesan into two separate circles on the prepared parchment.
  • Place a cabbage steak on top of each Parmesan circle.
  • In a small bowl, combine Olive Oil, Pressed Garlic, Salt, Smoked Paprika, and Pepper. Add 2 Tablespoons of the Grated Parmesan and stir to combine.
  • Brush seasoned oil on top of cabbage steaks. Sprinkle with each steak with 1 Tablespoon more of Parmesan.
  • Pop in the oven for 30 minutes.
  • While cabbage is cooking, cut bacon strips into 1/4" lardons. Cook in small frying pan until crispy.
  • Once cooked, remove to paper towel to soak up excess fat.
  • After 30 minutes (or until cabbage steaks are crispy around edges and the tops are browned), remove from oven and switch oven to Broil.
  • Top each steak with Bacon and a final layer of Parmesan.
  • Pop under the broiler, leaving the oven door cracked to keep an eye on everything. Broil for 1-2 minutes, until the Parmesan is melted.
  • Remove from oven and Enjoy!
