Grilled Parmesan Cabbage Steaks
This recipe took TikTok by storm recently, and being a dedicated cabbage lover, I sent my grocery-getters (ie: my driving teenagers) to the store that same day to pick up a couple of heads of cabbage.
The process couldn’t be easier, either. Anyone can make these. I suggest using your pellet grill for that extra wood-fired flavor, but your oven would work, too, if you haven’t joined the pellet smoker club yet.
This makes a great side dish for your next steak or a Stuffed Pork Chop. It can also go well next to a whole roasted chicken.
