Faq’s

What are air-fried cabbage steaks? Air-fried cabbage steaks are thick slices of cabbage cooked in an air fryer until they’re tender on the inside and crispy on the edges. They’re often seasoned with spices and olive oil for added flavor.

How thick should I cut the cabbage steaks? For best results, slice the cabbage into steaks about ¾ to 1 inch thick. This thickness allows the steaks to cook through without falling apart and ensures a good balance of tender and crispy textures.

Can I use any type of cabbage for this recipe? Yes, while green cabbage is commonly used, red cabbage or savoy cabbage can also be used to make cabbage steaks. Each type of cabbage will offer a slightly different flavor and texture.

How do I prevent the cabbage steaks from falling apart? Keeping the core intact when you slice the cabbage helps hold the leaves together. Additionally, carefully flipping the steaks only once during cooking helps maintain their shape.

What seasonings work well with cabbage steaks? Cabbage pairs well with a variety of seasonings. Classic options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. For more adventurous flavors, try adding smoked paprika, cumin, or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.

How long should I cook the cabbage steaks in the air fryer? Cooking times can vary depending on the thickness of the steaks and your air fryer model, but cabbage steaks generally take about 12-15 minutes at 375°F (190°C), flipped halfway through. Always check for tenderness and crispy edges to indicate doneness.

Can I make cabbage steaks ahead of time? While they’re best served fresh, you can prep them ahead of time by slicing them and refrigerating them until you’re ready to season and cook. Cooked cabbage steaks can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days and reheated in the air fryer for a few minutes to refresh their texture.
