Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F (200°C).
Remove any ragged outer leaves from the cabbage head and cut the cabbage into 1-inch thick slices, keeping the core intact to hold the slices together.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Brush both sides of each cabbage steak generously with the seasoned olive oil mixture.
Place the cabbage steaks on the preheated grill. Cook for 10 minutes on one side, then carefully flip each steak using a spatula or tongs.
Grill for an additional 10 minutes on the other side, until the edges are charred and the cabbage is tender.
Remove the cabbage steaks from the grill and transfer to a serving dish.
Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the cabbage steaks and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy as a main course with your favorite protein.
