Step 1
Warm your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Take off the outer leaf of the cabbage, then slice the cabbage into steaks about an inch thick. Lay them out on the baking sheet. Rub both sides of each cabbage steak with smashed garlic, then brush them generously with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 2
Pop the cabbage into the oven and roast for about 30 minutes. When the time’s up, carefully flip the steaks over. Place one or two slices of bacon on top of each and sprinkle a little brown sugar over everything. Roast for another 30 minutes, or until the cabbage is soft and the bacon is nice and crispy.
Great Ways To Serve
Serve with a side of creamy mashed potatoes or crusty bread to soak up the bacon juices. A simple green salad or roasted root vegetables also complement this dish well, balancing the richness.
Freezing Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet to keep the bacon crispy and the cabbage tender. Avoid microwaving if possible, as it can make the bacon chewy.
