Ingredients
  

For the Cabbage

  • ½ small young green cabbage
  • 50 g Parmesan grated
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove grated
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste

For the Garlic Lemon Yogurt Sauce

  • 80 g Greek yogurt
  • zest of ½ lemon
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 small garlic clove finely grated

For Serving

  • fresh parsley chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F).
  • Cut ½ cabbage into thick slices, keeping the core intact.
  • Place on a lightly oiled baking tray. Brush with 1 tbsp olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, mix the Greek yogurt, lemon zest, lemon juice, and grated garlic.
  • Remove the foil and sprinkle the cabbage with 50 g grated Parmesan.
  • Bake for another 10–15 minutes, or broil for the last few minutes until golden.
  • Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve with the garlic lemon yogurt sauce.

Notes

Keep the core attached so the cabbage steaks hold their shape.
Young cabbage becomes especially tender after roasting.
If using regular cabbage, spread a thin layer of Greek yogurt over the cabbage before adding the Parmesan to keep it juicy.
Slightly charred edges are normal and add extra flavor.
Best served warm.
