Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 1 head green cabbage
Seasoning & Marinade
- 1/4 heaping cup olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp chili pepper flakes
- Salt, to taste
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400℉ (204℃). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Prepare Cabbage Wedges: Remove the stem from the cabbage head, then slice the head in half. Cut each half into halves again, and then once again to yield 8 evenly sized wedges. This ensures each piece cooks evenly.
- Make the Garlic Parmesan Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, onion powder, chili pepper flakes, salt, and grated parmesan cheese. This mixture will infuse the cabbage with savory, slightly spicy, and cheesy flavors.
- Coat the Wedges: Using a brush, generously coat all sides of each cabbage wedge with the prepared mixture, ensuring every wedge is well seasoned.
- Roast the Cabbage: Arrange the coated cabbage wedges on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
- Flip and Continue Roasting: After 20 minutes, carefully flip each wedge to ensure even cooking and browning. Roast for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and the cabbage is tender when pierced with a fork.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm. Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley and lemon wedges to add a bright, fresh flavor that complements the rich parmesan and garlic.
Notes
- Ensure the wedges are cut evenly to guarantee uniform roasting.
- You can adjust the amount of chili flakes depending on your spice preference.
- For a different flavor, substitute parmesan with pecorino or romano cheese.
- Leftovers can be reheated in the oven to maintain crispy edges.
- Pair these wedges with grilled meats or as a vegetarian side to a hearty main dish.
