Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 medium green or Savoy cabbage
  • 2–3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice or vinegar

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it is hot enough to caramelize the cabbage during roasting.
  2. Prepare the Cabbage: Remove any damaged outer leaves from the cabbage and cut it into thick wedges, keeping the core intact to hold the wedges together while cooking.
  3. Season the Wedges: Place the cabbage wedges in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper over the wedges, tossing gently to coat each wedge evenly.
  4. Arrange for Roasting: Lay the seasoned cabbage wedges flat on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil, spacing them out to allow steam to escape and ensure crispness.
  5. Roast Until Golden: Roast in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through to achieve golden caramelized edges on both sides.
  6. Finish and Serve: Remove from the oven and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the roasted cabbage to brighten the flavors just before serving.

Notes

  • Use thick cabbage wedges to prevent burning or crumbling and ensure even cooking.
  • Do not overcrowd the baking sheet; give each wedge enough space for air circulation to promote crispness.
  • Flip wedges carefully with a spatula halfway through roasting for even browning.
  • Adjust seasoning to your preference, experimenting with herbs and spices as desired.
  • Opt for a high-quality olive oil to enhance flavor and texture.
