Roasted Cabbage Wedges (Printable)

Crispy, tender roasted cabbage wedges seasoned with olive oil, garlic, and spices for a simple healthy side dish.

# What You'll Need:

→ Vegetables

01 - 1 medium green cabbage (about 2 lbs), outer leaves removed

→ Seasoning

02 - 3 tbsp olive oil
03 - 1½ tsp kosher salt
04 - ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
05 - 1 tsp garlic powder
06 - 1 tsp smoked paprika (optional)

→ Garnish

07 - 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
08 - 1 tbsp lemon juice (optional)

# How-To Steps:

01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Cut the cabbage into 8 equal wedges, keeping the core intact so the wedges hold together.
03 - Arrange the wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
04 - Brush both sides of each wedge with olive oil. Sprinkle evenly with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika (if using).
05 - Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through, until the edges are crisp and browned and the centers are tender.
06 - Remove from the oven. Drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The high heat transforms ordinary cabbage into something restaurant worthy with zero effort
  • Its one of those rare sides that actually improves as it sits, making it perfect for meal prep
02 -
  • Dont crowd the baking sheet or the cabbage will steam instead of roast, use two sheets if you need to
  • The wedges should look almost burnt in places, thats where all the flavor lives
03 -
  • A pastry brush gives the most even coverage, but your hands work fine too, just wash them first
  • Let the wedges sit for about 5 minutes after roasting, they develop even better flavor
