Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Remove any tattered outer leaves from the cabbage, then wash and thoroughly dry the cabbage head.
Slice the cabbage into 1-inch thick rounds, keeping the core intact to ensure the slices hold together during roasting.
Place the cabbage rounds onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt.
Brush both sides of each cabbage round with the olive oil mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25 minutes, flipping the cabbage slices halfway through to ensure both sides are evenly browned.
The cabbage is ready when it is tender in the middle and crispy around the edges. If you prefer more charring, leave for an additional 5 minutes.
Remove from the oven and serve warm. Enjoy as a side dish, or pair it with your favorite lean protein for a complete meal.
