Crispy Roasted Cabbage Wedges (with Dukkah and Tahini)

These roasted cabbage wedges are brushed with olive oil, seasoned simply with salt and pepper, and roasted at high heat until parts are charred and the wedges are tender. The dish is finished with dukkah, a nut and spice blend, and a drizzle of creamy tahini sauce, combining crisp edges with rich, nutty flavors and a hint of sesame. It's a unique vegetable side that pairs well with Mediterranean-inspired meals or can stand alone as a flavorful snack.
