With a simple blend of spices and minimal oil, these cabbage steaks become wonderfully crispy in the air fryer, making them a delightful side dish or a satisfying main course. Ideal for meal prep or a quick dinner option, these steaks are sure to impress your taste buds.

Ingredients

  • 1 medium green cabbage, cut into 1-inch thick steaks
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Chopped parsley for garnish

Method

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (400°F).
  2. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and onion powder.
  3. Brush the cabbage steaks with the oil mixture on both sides and drizzle with lemon juice.
  4. Place the cabbage steaks in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy.
  5. Remove from the air fryer and sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.

Pro tips for maximum crisp

  • For extra crispiness, air fry in batches to avoid overcrowding the basket.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, reheating in the air fryer for best results.
  • Experiment with different spices like cumin or chili powder for varied flavors.
