Roasted, crispy, and incredibly flavorful cabbage steaks brushed with a sweet and savory balsamic and garlic glaze.
Balsamic Roasted Cabbage Steaks roasted to a crispy perfection on the outside, but a creamy goodness on the inside.
OhMahGosh friends! These cabbage steaks are so, so, soooo good! It’s just layers and layers of crunchy and creamy satisfaction with the bonus drizzle of garlic and balsamic vinegar. I’m going to call this the perfect side dish.
Do you remember the cabbage diet craze? I DO. I did it! That’s when I learned about roasting cabbage “steaks”. The exchange went something like this:
- Hey, Kat, want steak?
- YAHSSSS!
- Here’s some cabbage! Pretend it’s beef.
- Uhmmm, thanks…?
Little did I know that I would actually and totally enjoy the balsamic roasted cabbage steaks to no end. I don’t need to be on no cabbage-diet to love them, know whaddamean?
This is really a simple dish and goes great as a low carb, low cal, healthy side dish with just about any meal. Even with a REAL steak. *Tried it, LOVED it*.
It’s especially fitting if you are on a keto or paleo diet. Just try to find a balsamico that is without any added sugars so to keep the carbs at zero.

Could I use bottled balsamic vinegarette dressing instead of making the glaze if pressed for time?
Hi!
Yes, that will work.
This was honestly, DELICIOUS! Loved it. The marinade added a new dimension to a widely-regarded-as-boring ingredients. THANK YOU!
Thank you so much! I’m very glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
Absolutely one of the most delicious WW recipes I have had lately. So quick and easy to fix with basic ingredients most kitchens always have available.
I am very glad you enjoyed it! Thank YOU! 🙂
This looks delish! Does it ‘keep’? Or should I cook one at a time if I were the only one eating them. Thanks, if ya got the time!
Ooo! I’ve been so into cabbage lately! I’m going to be craving this until I get it! It looks amazing!
You had me at Balsamic!
This is such a great idea! The perfect way to switch up our normal side dish routine.
What a great way to enjoy cabbage! Love the recipe!
Wow! This changed my entire outlook on cabbage. This tasted superb, but it also opened up so many possibilities!
One thing I noticed is that no one has included using heavy thread tied snugly around the slices to hold them together.
Wow I really want to try this – looks AMAZING!
I love your recipes.
