Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium head green cabbage
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Remove any tough outer leaves from the cabbage. Cut the cabbage into 4 equal wedges, keeping the core intact to hold the leaves together.
- In a small bowl, mix the olive oil and minced garlic. Brush this mixture evenly over all cut surfaces of the cabbage wedges.
- Season the wedges with salt and pepper. Place the wedges cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast for 20 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of each wedge.
- Return the cabbage to the oven and roast for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender and the cheese is golden brown and bubbly.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- This recipe works well for meal prep; store cooled wedges in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
- For a richer flavor, you can add a pinch of smoked paprika to the garlic oil mixture.
- If you prefer softer edges, cover the wedges loosely with foil for the first 20 minutes of roasting.
