Remove any wilted outer leaves from the cabbage head and slice it into 1-inch thick steaks, keeping the core intact to hold the slices together.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried thyme, and black pepper to form a marinade.
Brush both sides of each cabbage steak with the marinade, ensuring even coverage.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, wait until the coals are covered with white ash.
Place cabbage steaks on the grill using tongs. Grill each side for 5-7 minutes or until the edges become charred and the cabbage is tender.
Remove the cabbage steaks from the grill and drizzle with lemon juice.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve warm as a side or a main dish.
