Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Remove any damaged outer leaves from the cabbage. Slice the cabbage into 1-inch thick rounds, aiming for 4-5 slices depending on the size of the cabbage.
Mince the garlic cloves finely. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
Brush both sides of each cabbage steak generously with the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated.
Place the cabbage steaks on the preheated grill grate. Grill each side for about 10-15 minutes, or until charred and tender. Use a wide spatula to carefully flip them halfway through the grilling process.
While the cabbage is grilling, crumble the feta cheese and chop the fresh parsley.
Once the cabbage steaks are done, transfer them to a serving platter. Top with crumbled feta cheese and freshly chopped parsley.
Serve immediately while hot as a side dish or enjoy as a light vegetarian main dish.
