Description
This roasted cabbage recipe is about the crunchiest ever, and damn good too! Cabbage wedges are brushed with olive oil, topped with a garlic-Parmesan-herb mixture, and roasted until tender with crispy edges.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium head green cabbage or savoy cabbage
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil (or 1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning blend)
- 3 or 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
- Prepare Parmesan Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, dried thyme, dried oregano, dried basil (or Italian seasoning), and minced garlic. Stir well.
- Prepare Cabbage: Remove any loose outer leaves from the cabbage. Cut the cabbage head in half lengthwise through the core, then cut each half into 3 or 4 wedges, ensuring a piece of the core remains attached to each wedge to hold it together.
- Arrange and Season Cabbage: Arrange the cabbage wedges on the prepared baking sheet. Brush all surfaces of the wedges with olive oil. Sprinkle generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Top with Parmesan Mixture: Sprinkle the Parmesan-herb mixture generously over the oiled and seasoned cabbage wedges, pressing lightly to help it adhere.
- Roast: Roast for 20–30 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender when pierced with a fork and the edges are crispy and deeply golden brown.
- Serve: Serve warm as a side dish.
Notes
- Cabbage: Green cabbage or Savoy cabbage work well. Cutting through the core helps the wedges stay intact.
- Parmesan: Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best flavor and texture.
- Herbs: Feel free to adjust the dried herbs based on your preference. A pre-made Italian seasoning blend can be used.
- Roasting Time: Cooking time will vary depending on the size and thickness of your cabbage wedges. Check for tenderness with a fork.
- Crispiness: For extra crispy edges, ensure wedges aren’t overcrowded on the pan.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for best results.
