Q & A

❓ Why are my cabbage steaks falling apart?

Cut thicker slices from the center core. The core holds them together.

❓ Can I use purple cabbage?

Yes! Same cook time. Slightly sweeter flavor.

❓ Can I make them in the air fryer?

Yes.
Air fry at 375°F for 10–15 minutes, flipping halfway.

❓ How do I keep points low?

• Measure oil carefully.

• Use oil spray instead of pouring.

• Avoid sugary glazes.

❓ Are they crispy?

Edges get crispy, center stays tender.
For extra crispiness, broil briefly at the end.

❓ How do I store leftovers?

Refrigerate up to 4 days.
Reheat in oven or air fryer to restore crispness.
