Can I use red cabbage instead of green?

Absolutely, Red cabbage works beautifully - it'll turn a gorgeous deep purple color when roasted. Just know it might take a few extra minutes to get properly crispy since it's slightly denser than green cabbage.

How do I prevent soggy cabbage steaks?

The secret is in the spacing. Make sure your cabbage slices aren't crowded on the baking sheet. And don't skip that flip halfway through - it ensures even crisping on both sides. If you struggle with sogginess in other recipes, you might find tips on preventing sogginess in air frying helpful.

Can I make these ahead of time?

You can prep the cabbage steaks up to 4 hours ahead - just keep them uncovered in the fridge until ready to roast. But honestly, they're best fresh from the oven when those edges are at their crispiest.

What other seasonings work well?

Oh, get creative. I've tried everything from curry powder to lemon pepper. My latest obsession? A sprinkle of nutritional yeast after roasting for a cheesy, umami kick. The possibilities are endless.
