Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium head green cabbage
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Remove any loose outer leaves from the cabbage. Cut the cabbage head into four equal wedges, keeping the core intact to hold the leaves together.
- In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
- Brush the oil mixture evenly over all cut surfaces of the cabbage wedges.
- Place the wedges cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast for 20 minutes.
- Remove the baking sheet 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 5 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are slightly caramelized and the cheese is melted and lightly browned.
- Serve immediately as a delicious roasted cabbage recipe or low-carb meal component.
Notes
- For a melting effect, you can cut the cabbage into thick rounds (steaks) instead of wedges.
- If you want a richer flavor, add a pinch of dried Italian herbs to the oil mixture.
- This recipe works well for meal prep; reheat gently in the oven to maintain texture.
