Ingredients

  • 1 medium green cabbage, cut into 8 wedges
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar (optional)

Steps

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature ensures that the cabbage gets nice and crispy.

  2. In a large bowl, toss the cabbage wedges with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Coating them evenly helps to achieve a rich flavor.

  3. Place the seasoned cabbage wedges cut-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This position will help them caramelize better.

  4. Roast the cabbage in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are browned and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.

  5. If using, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the wedges during the last 5 minutes of roasting for added flavor and a cheesy crust.

  6. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar before serving for a touch of acidity that balances the richness.

Why this works

Roasting cabbage wedges at a high temperature allows the natural sugars in the cabbage to caramelize, creating a crispy texture and deep flavor. The combination of olive oil and spices not only enhances the savory profile but also helps the outer leaves crisp up beautifully. If the wedges seem too bitter, adding a drizzle of balsamic vinegar at the end helps to cut through the bitterness and add a delightful tang. If they break apart during roasting, simply rearrange them on the baking sheet and continue cooking. The high heat method is crucial; lower temperatures will result in a steamed texture rather than the desired roast. This technique is versatile, allowing for different seasonings while maintaining the fundamental essence of the cabbage.
