Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 1 medium green cabbage, cut into thick wedges
Seasonings and Oils
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Cheese
- 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Prepare Garlic Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper, mixing well to blend the flavors.
- Arrange Cabbage Wedges: Place the cabbage wedges flat side down on the prepared baking sheet, making sure there is space between each wedge for even roasting.
- Coat Cabbage With Mixture: Using a brush, generously coat each cabbage wedge with the garlic butter mixture, ensuring all sides are covered for maximum flavor.
- Roast Cabbage: Roast the cabbage in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through the cooking time, until they are golden brown and caramelized on edges.
- Add Parmesan Cheese: Remove the cabbage from the oven and immediately sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the hot wedges so it melts slightly and adds a savory finish.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish the melted parmesan-topped cabbage with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm as a delicious side dish.
Notes
- Using parchment paper helps with easy cleanup and encourages better caramelization of the cabbage.
- Freshly grated parmesan cheese melts more smoothly and imparts a richer flavor compared to pre-grated varieties.
- For an extra kick, add a pinch of chili flakes or a sprinkle of lemon zest before serving.
