Healthy Recipes Ingredient Vegetable Cabbage Parmesan-Crusted Cabbage Steaks 5.0 (2) 2 Reviews These tender cabbage steaks are brushed with balsamic vinegar and oil on both sides to help with caramelization while also adding sweetness to every bite. If you have any leftover cabbage after cutting the steaks, chop it up and save it for a salad, or use it for roasting the following day.

Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
