Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 head green cabbage
Seasoning:
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
Finishing Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Slice the green cabbage into 8 uniform wedges, maintaining the core to help pieces stay intact.
- Arrange wedges on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap.
- Using a pastry brush, coat both sides of each wedge with 3 tablespoons of olive oil, covering completely.
- Evenly dust wedges with 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, and 1 tablespoon dried thyme.
- Position the baking sheet in a preheated 425°F oven and roast for 15 minutes.
- Carefully turn each wedge to promote even caramelization and continue roasting for another 10-15 minutes.
- Watch for crispy, golden-brown edges and a tender interior, which indicates perfect doneness.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately sprinkle 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese over the hot wedges.
- Allow the cabbage to rest for 3-5 minutes so the cheese can slightly melt and adhere to the surface.
- Transfer the roasted cabbage wedges to a serving platter and serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- Picking a fresh, firm cabbage ensures crisp edges and even roasting when sliced into wedges.
- Keeping the core attached helps maintain the wedge shape and prevents individual leaves from falling apart during cooking.
- Using parchment paper makes cleanup simple and prevents sticking while creating a perfectly caramelized exterior.
- Experiment with different herbs and spices like smoked paprika, rosemary, or red pepper flakes to customize the flavor profile for your taste preferences.
