Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium head cabbage (green, red, or savoy)
- 2 tbsp olive oil (or avocado oil/ghee)
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 0.5 tsp chili flakes (adjust to taste)
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- smoked paprika, optional
- garlic powder, optional
- fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
- lemon juice, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Cabbage And Oven: Cut one medium cabbage into 1-inch thick wedges, keeping the core intact. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Season Cabbage: Place cabbage wedges on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tbsp olive oil, then sprinkle generously with 1 tsp turmeric, 0.5 tsp chili flakes (adjust to taste), 0.5 tsp salt, and 0.25 tsp black pepper. Toss to coat.
- Roast Cabbage: Arrange cabbage in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until tender-crisp and golden brown with slightly charred edges. If edges are not crisping, roast for an extra 5 minutes.
- Garnish And Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley or a squeeze of lemon juice if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
Use a large, sturdy sheet pan, lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Select heavy, compact cabbage heads for best texture and avoid washing until just before cutting to prevent steaming. If needed, roast an extra 5 minutes for crispier edges.
