Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Begin by preparing the cabbage. Remove any damaged outer leaves and then cut the head of cabbage into 1-inch thick slices or 'steaks,' keeping the core to hold the leaves together.
Lay the cabbage steaks on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic (use a garlic press or finely chop), salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well blended.
Brush or drizzle the olive oil mixture evenly over each cabbage steak, making sure they are well coated for even roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 30 to 35 minutes, flipping the cabbage steaks halfway through cooking. The cabbage should be tender and have golden, crispy edges.
While the cabbage roasts, chop the fresh parsley and crumble the feta cheese.
Once the cabbage is done roasting, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly for a few minutes.
Transfer the roasted cabbage steaks to a serving platter, and sprinkle generously with chopped parsley and crumbled feta cheese on top.
Serve warm as a delicious side dish or a light main course accompanied by other Mediterranean-style salads or grains.
