Air Fryer Cabbage Steaks Recipe

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

• 1 lb green cabbage
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon whole grain dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
• ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. Use a sharp knife to cut the cabbage into 4 wedges, each about 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick. Reserve any extra cabbage for another use. Spread the cabbage wedges evenly in a single layer in your air fryer basket to ensure even cooking.
2. In a small bowl, thoroughly combine the extra-virgin olive oil, whole grain dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, smoked paprika, fine sea salt, and black pepper to create a flavorful seasoning mixture.
3. Using a brush, generously coat both sides of each cabbage wedge with the prepared seasoning mixture to enhance flavor and promote browning during cooking.
4. Place the basket in the air fryer and cook at 375°F (190°C) without preheating. Cook the cabbage wedges for 10 minutes or until they are tender in the middle with crisp, browned edges. Serve hot immediately for the best taste and texture.

Notes

• For a vegetarian and vegan-friendly version, this recipe is naturally plant-based with no animal products.
• If you don’t have whole grain dijon mustard, use regular dijon or yellow mustard as a substitute.
• Cooking times may vary depending on your air fryer model; check the cabbage at 8 minutes to prevent overcooking.
• Leftover cooked cabbage can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and gently reheated.
• For added flavor, sprinkle with fresh herbs like parsley or chives before serving.
