Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

- Season the cabbage:
- Brush both sides of each cabbage slice with olive oil.
- Sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Bake:
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and the inside is tender.
- Serve and enjoy:
- Garnish with your favorite toppings, if desired (such as parmesan cheese, chopped herbs, or a drizzle of balsamic glaze).
- Serve hot as a main or side dish!
