Roasted Cabbage
Description
This recipe uses a whole head of cabbage cut into wedges, with the core left intact to hold the wedges together during roasting. The wedges are drizzled with olive oil and seasoned uniformly with cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Using a brush helps distribute the oil and spices evenly to promote caramelization.
Roasting at 425°F for 30 to 35 minutes, with a flip halfway through, yields tender cabbage with browned, slightly crisp edges that offer a pleasant texture contrast. The roasting process softens the cabbage while intensifying its natural sweetness.
The finished wedges are served warm, garnished with chopped fresh parsley for color and a fresh herbal note. This side dish complements various meals and provides an easy way to enjoy cabbage beyond boiling or sautéing.
Leftover roasted cabbage stores well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days and can be reheated in the oven. While the recipe calls for specific spices and olive oil, substitutions are possible though they may alter the flavor profile.
Ingredients
- 1 head cabbage
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- parsley chopped, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Remove the cabbage’s damaged outer leaves. Cut it in half and then cut each half into 4-6 wedges making sure to leave the core intact.
- Place the cut cabbage on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil on top and sprinkle with cumin, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Use a brush to spread the olive oil and seasoning evenly throughout.
- Roast until the cabbage is tender and the edges are golden brown, about 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Serve warm with fresh parsley, if desired.
Notes
- Best served immediately but leftovers keep well refrigerated up to 5 days and can be reheated in the oven.
- You can swap the spices or use different cooking oils but expect flavor variations.
