🧾 Ingredients

Cabbage

• 1 large green cabbage (cut into 4 thick rounds/steaks)

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• Salt & black pepper, to taste

“Marry Me” Creamy Sauce

• ½ cup fat-free or light Greek yogurt

• ¼ cup reduced-fat cream cheese, softened

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• ¼ tsp chili flakes (optional)

• ½ tsp Italian seasoning

• ¼ cup vegetable broth or low-sodium chicken broth

• 2 tbsp grated Parmesan (optional but flavorful)

Garnish (Optional)

• Fresh parsley or chives

• Extra chili flakes

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat oven:
   Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking dish with parchment or lightly spray with cooking spray.

2. Roast the cabbage:
   Place cabbage rounds in the dish. Brush lightly with olive oil, season with salt and pepper. Roast uncovered for 25–30 minutes, flipping once, until edges are golden and tender.

3. Make the sauce:
   In a bowl, whisk Greek yogurt, cream cheese, garlic, chili flakes, Italian seasoning, broth, and Parmesan until smooth and creamy.

4. Add sauce:
   Remove cabbage from oven. Spoon sauce generously over each cabbage steak, letting it drip down the sides.

5. Bake again:
   Return to oven and bake 15–20 minutes until bubbly, creamy, and lightly golden on top.

6. Finish & serve:
   Garnish with herbs and serve hot. The cabbage should be melt-in-your-mouth tender.
