Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Remove any damaged or wilted outer leaves from the cabbage. Slice the cabbage into 1-inch thick rounds, keeping the core intact so the slices hold together. You should get around 6-8 cabbage 'steaks' depending on the size of the cabbage.
Arrange the cabbage steaks in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Be careful not to overlap them for even cooking.
Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely or use a garlic press. In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix until well combined.
Brush the garlic oil mixture generously over both sides of each cabbage steak using a pastry brush or spoon.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the cabbage steaks for 15 minutes. Flip each steak carefully using a spatula and roast for an additional 15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the cabbage steaks from the oven and let them cool slightly. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley if desired for added color and flavor.
Serve warm as a side dish or a light vegetarian main course. Enjoy!
