Balsamic Honey Roasted Cabbage Steaks

Thick cabbage slices roast until tender in the center and golden at the edges, with a simple balsamic-honey glaze and fresh thyme. This easy vegetable side works with either mild Clover Honey or richer Blackberry Honey.

Oven: 400°F
Roast time: 25 to 30 minutes

Ingredients

• 1/2 head Savoy or green cabbage, cut into 1/2-inch-thick rounds
• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
• 3/4 teaspoon coarse salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 2 teaspoons Weeks Honey Farm Clover Honey or Blackberry Honey
• Leaves from 1 sprig fresh thyme

How to Make Roasted Cabbage Steaks

1. Heat the oven. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2. Prepare the pan. Brush a rimmed baking sheet with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
3. Make the glaze. Whisk the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil with the balsamic vinegar and honey.
4. Season the cabbage. Arrange the cabbage rounds in a single layer on the prepared pan. Brush them evenly with the balsamic-honey glaze, then season with the coarse salt, white pepper, and thyme.
5. Roast. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the centers are tender and the edges are deeply golden. Watch the edges near the end because the honey can darken quickly.
6. Serve. Transfer carefully with a wide spatula so the cabbage rounds stay together. Serve warm.

Tips and Honey Options

• Cut through the cabbage core so each round holds together during roasting.
• Use Clover Honey for a light, clean sweetness.
• Choose Blackberry Honey for a deeper floral flavor.
• Leave space between the slices so their edges roast rather than steam.
