Main Ingredients
- Olive oil spray
- 1 large green cabbage (2 pounds before trimming)
- 1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Generously spray the foil with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the cabbage: Remove any damaged outer leaves from the cabbage. Cut the cabbage in half, then cut each half into wedges. Keep the core intact to hold the wedges together during roasting.
- Rinse and dry: Rinse the cabbage wedges under cold water, then carefully pat them dry using paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Arrange on sheet: Place the cabbage wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
- Season the cabbage: Generously spray the cabbage wedges with olive oil. Sprinkle evenly with kosher salt, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes for a flavorful kick.
- Roast: Roast the cabbage in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the wedges are fork-tender and have a golden-brown, slightly crispy exterior.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve the roasted cabbage immediately as a delicious and healthy side dish.
Notes
- Roasted cabbage develops a rich, savory flavor with crispy edges and tender insides, making it an unexpectedly delicious side dish.
- Keeping the core intact helps hold the wedges together during roasting.
- Adjust the red pepper flakes to your preferred spice level or omit them for a milder flavor.
- For more crispiness, you can roast a few minutes longer but watch carefully to avoid burning.
- This dish pairs well with a variety of mains, including roasted meats and vegetarian entrees.
