Roasted Red Cabbage
Description
This Roasted Red Cabbage recipe begins with trimming loose outer leaves and cutting the cabbage into eight wedges, keeping the core attached to hold the shape. The wedges are coated with olive oil and sprinkled with baharat, a complex Middle Eastern spice blend, and salt. Roasting at 400 degrees Fahrenheit softens the cabbage, while the edges become slightly charred, enhancing flavor and texture.
The warm, earthy spices from baharat add depth beyond a typical roasted vegetable, complementing the natural sweetness and slight bitterness of red cabbage. After roasting, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice adds a bright acidity that balances the spices.
The cooked wedges can be served as a side dish to meats or salads. Adding toasted nuts or chopped scallions on top introduces crunchy and fresh elements that contrast nicely with the tender cabbage.
