These crispy, buttery slices are infused with bold flavors from Old Bay seasoning, garlic salt, and onion powder. Perfect as a low-carb side dish or snack, they are ready in under 15 minutes and cooked to golden perfection in the air fryer.
Ingredients:
- 1 head of cabbage
- 1 tbsp butter (per slice; olive oil works too, but butter is better!)
- ¼ tsp Old Bay seasoning (per slice)
- ⅛ tsp onion powder (per slice)
- ⅛ tsp garlic salt (per slice)
Instructions:
- Prep the Air Fryer:
Add ¼ cup of water underneath the air fryer basket to prevent smoking from any drippings. Preheat the air fryer to 360°F (182°C) for 5 minutes. - Slice the Cabbage:
Cut the cabbage into ¾-inch thick slices to create “steaks.” Keep the slices intact for even cooking. - Season the Cabbage:
Place a cabbage steak into the preheated air fryer basket. Add 1 tbsp butter in the center of each slice or drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil. Sprinkle the slice with Old Bay seasoning, onion powder, and garlic salt. - Cook to Perfection:
Air fry the cabbage steaks at 360°F for 8 minutes. For crispier edges, add an additional 2 minutes and check the doneness. - Serve Immediately:
Carefully remove the cabbage steaks from the air fryer and serve them hot. The buttery, seasoned layers paired with crispy edges make for an irresistible dish!
