Cabbage wedges are a simple, healthy side dish made by cutting cabbage into wedges and roasting, grilling, or baking them until tender with crispy edges.
Ingredients (serves 4)
- 1 medium head green cabbage
- 2–3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: garlic powder, paprika, or lemon juice
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Cut the cabbage
- Remove any damaged outer leaves.
- Cut the cabbage into 6–8 wedges, keeping the core intact so the wedges hold together.
3. Season
- Place wedges on a baking sheet.
- Brush or drizzle with olive oil.
- Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and optional seasonings.
4. Roast
- Roast for 25–30 minutes, turning once halfway through.
- The edges should be browned and slightly crispy while the inside becomes tender.
5. Serve
- Serve warm. You can add a squeeze of lemon juice or a drizzle of balsamic vinegar for extra flavor.
💡 Tips
- Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top before roasting for extra flavor.
- Add butter and garlic for a richer taste.
- Cabbage wedges are great alongside roast chicken, pork, or steak.
