Step 1: Prepare the Cabbage Steaks

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Slice the cabbage into 1-inch thick steaks, ensuring the core remains intact to hold the slices together.
3. In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, chili powder, and Italian herb blend.
4. Brush the cabbage steaks generously with the seasoned olive oil mixture on both sides. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Place the cabbage steaks on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes or until tender and slightly crispy at the edges.

For Pizza Style:

1. Remove the cabbage steaks from the oven once cooked.
2. Spread a spoonful of marinara sauce over each cabbage steak.
3. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, and top with mini pepperonis.
4. Add a dash of dried oregano and chili flakes if you like a bit of heat.
5. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

For Mediterranean Style:

1. After baking the cabbage steaks, spread pesto or hummus over the top.
2. Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella or crumbled feta cheese.
3. Add the sliced baby bell peppers and Kalamata olives for extra flavor and color.
4. Top with fresh oregano or thyme leaves.
5. Bake for another 5-7 minutes until the cheese is melted.

Step 3: Serve and Enjoy

1. Remove the cabbage steaks from the oven and serve hot.
2. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired and enjoy your cheesy, flavorful cabbage steaks—either pizza-inspired or Mediterranean-style!
