Preheat your oven to 400°F / 200°C and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Begin by carefully removing any loose or damaged outer leaves from two small cabbage heads. Cut each cabbage head into thick slices, approximately 1 to 1.5 inches thick, to create "cabbage steaks."
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of olive oil, ½ teaspoon of salt (or adjust to taste), 2 teaspoons of paprika, and 1 tablespoon of garlic powder until well combined.
Place the cabbage steaks on the prepared large baking sheet. Brush the olive oil and seasoning mixture generously on both sides of each cabbage steak, ensuring even coverage.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 30-35 minutes, or until the edges of the cabbage are golden brown and the centers are tender.
Pierce the cabbage with a fork or knife to check for tenderness. If needed, you can roast for an additional 5-10 minutes.
Once the cabbage steaks are roasted to perfection, remove them from the oven. Serve them hot as a delicious side dish or a light main course.
Notes

This addition creates a wonderful crust and adds a savory depth to the dish.Serve Hot: Enjoy your cabbage steaks fresh out of the oven for the best combination of textures and flavors. They're excellent as a side or a vegetarian main course.
