Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Remove any damaged outer leaves from the Napa cabbage. Cut the head lengthwise into 1-inch-thick steaks, being careful to keep the core intact for stability.
Arrange the cabbage steaks in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Brush both sides with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season with half of the salt and pepper.
Roast in the oven for 15 minutes. Flip the steaks carefully using a spatula and roast for an additional 10 minutes, or until golden brown and tender.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, thyme leaves, lemon juice, and the remaining salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
Once the cabbage steaks are done roasting, transfer them to a serving platter. Drizzle the garlic butter sauce evenly over the steaks.
Optionally, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese for extra richness. Serve immediately and enjoy!
