Here’s my simple recipe for Air Fryer Cabbage Steaks that’s quick, easy, and healthy. With just 6 ingredients, you can have crispy cabbage steaks seasoned with curry powder, ready in 20 minutes. It’s a tasty side dish perfect for any meal, especially for St. Patrick’s Day.
Ingredients
For making Indian inspired air fryer cabbage steaks, you’ll only need 3 main ingredients along with salt and pepper.
- Cabbage: I recommend using white or green cabbage for this recipe, as it holds together well as steaks or wedges. Napa cabbage is too delicate, and Savoy cabbage doesn’t crisp up when roasted.
- Extra virgin olive oil: Alternatively, you can use avocado oil or garlic-infused chili oil for added flavor.
- Garlic: Garlic powder or minced garlic are delicious addition to the cabbage steaks.
- Salt and pepper, to taste.
- Seasoning: Mild curry powder or pre-made seasoning mixes like Cajun or taco seasoning work well.
- Herbs: Fresh coriander or parsley make great garnishes for the roasted cabbage steaks.
How to make Air fryer Cabbage steaks?: Step by Step
Prep the cabbage: Start by removing any wilted or discolored outer leaves from the cabbage head.
Slice the white cabbage: Cut the cabbage head into 1-inch to 1 ½ inch thick slices to resemble “steaks.” Ensure the core remains intact to hold the slices together.
Prep the seasoning mixture and brush the cabbage: In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, curry powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Lightly brush the cabbage steaks with a curry powder seasoning mixture on the top side.
Air fry: Place the seasoned cabbage steaks facing down in the air fryer basket. Brush the other side with the seasoning mixture and cook at 180°C (360°F) for 12 minutes or until the cabbage is tender and the edges begin to brown.
