Cabbage Steaks with Sun-Dried Tomato Cream Sauce

Thick slices of cabbage are tender and smothered in a flavorful sun-dried tomato cream sauce in this easy vegetarian cabbage steak recipe. You’ll inevitably have large and smaller “steaks” cut from the head. Place the large cabbage steaks on the outside edges of the baking sheet, with the smaller ones toward the center. The edges of the baking sheet are the hottest, so larger steaks will benefit from the extra heat. Roast any extra cabbage separately or store and save for another use.
