Ingredients

Scale

1 medium head Green Cabbage
3–4 tablespoons Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
0.5 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
0.5–1 teaspoon Sea Salt
0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). High heat is crucial for achieving crispy roasted cabbage wedges, helping caramelize the edges quickly
  2. Remove any loose or damaged outer leaves from the cabbage. Rinse the cabbage under cool water and pat it thoroughly dry with a clean kitchen towel. Using a large, sharp knife, carefully cut the cabbage into 1-inch thick wedges, cutting straight through the core to help hold the wedges together
  3. Arrange the cabbage wedges in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan; use two baking sheets if necessary. Drizzle the olive oil generously over the cabbage wedges. Sprinkle with garlic powder, smoked paprika (if using), sea salt, and black pepper. Use your hands to gently toss and rub the seasonings onto both sides of each cabbage wedge, ensuring they are evenly coated
  4. Place the baking sheet(s) in the preheated oven. Roast for 20-25 minutes. Carefully flip the cabbage wedges using tongs or a spatula. Continue to roast for another 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are beautifully browned, slightly charred, and the cabbage is tender when pierced with a fork
  5. Once they've reached that glorious crispy roasted stage, remove them from the oven and serve hot

Notes

For truly crispy results, ensure cabbage wedges are thoroughly dry before seasoning and do not overcrowd the baking sheet, using two if necessary.

High heat (400°F/200°C) is essential for caramelization; flip wedges halfway through roasting for even browning.

Crispy roasted cabbage wedges are best served immediately. Store cooled leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days and reheat in the oven (350°F/175°C for 10-15 mins) or air fryer (375°F/190°C for 5-7 mins) to restore crispiness.

Customize with different cabbage varieties (red, Napa), alternative oils (avocado, grapeseed), or various seasonings like chili flakes, onion powder, fresh herbs, Parmesan cheese, or a drizzle of balsamic glaze.

For a stronger garlic flavor, use 2-3 minced fresh garlic cloves, but be mindful they can burn more easily.
