Description
Roasted cabbage is a simple, healthy side dish with caramelized edges and a tender center. Naturally gluten-free and packed with fiber, it’s delicious on its own or finished with lemon, tahini, or Parmesan.
Ingredients
- 1 medium green cabbage (about 2 1/2 pounds)
- 3 Tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Heat the oven: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
- Prepare the cabbage: Remove any tough or damaged outer leaves from the cabbage. Slice the cabbage into ¾-inch-thick rounds or wedges, keeping the core intact so the pieces hold together. Arrange them in a single layer on the prepared sheet.
- Season generously: Brush both sides of the cabbage slices with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Roast until golden: Roast the cabbage for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges are deeply golden and the centers are tender.
- Serve warm: Enjoy roasted cabbage as a simple side dish, topped with a squeeze of lemon juice, a drizzle of tahini, or a sprinkle of Parmesan, if you like.
Notes
Storage: Roasted cabbage is best enjoyed fresh. Leftover cabbage can be stored in a airtight container for up to 3 days.
