Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
    Step 2: Remove any damaged outer cabbage leaves, but keep the head whole. Place cabbage stem-side down and slice into 1-inch thick steaks, cutting straight through the core so each piece stays together.
    Step 3: Arrange cabbage steaks in a single layer on the baking sheet. Brush both sides with olive oil. Season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
    Step 4: Roast for 15 minutes, then carefully flip using a wide spatula. Roast 10–12 minutes more until the edges are crispy and deeply golden with a little char, and the centers are tender.
    Step 5: Mix buffalo sauce with melted butter. As soon as the cabbage comes out of the oven, brush or drizzle the buffalo sauce over the hot steaks so it soaks in. Garnish with green onions and red pepper flakes if you want. Serve immediately with ranch or blue cheese dressing.
