I love to serve roasted vegetable side dish recipes as an accompaniment to our meals. Some of my favorite include roasted butternut squash, roasted root vegetables, roasted acorn squash, roasted asparagus, roasted green beans and these flavorful roasted cabbage wedges. I always have a head of cabbage in my refrigerator. It’s inexpensive, healthy and lasts a long time. My favorite way to enjoy this veggie is with this easy roasted cabbage recipe. This recipe takes just minutes to put together, and always gets rave reviews.
Roasted Cabbage Ingredients
To make this recipe, you will need green cabbage, olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, lemon juice and parsley.
How Do You Make Roasted Cabbage?
Cut your cabbage into slices, cabbage steaks or wedges, then place them on a baking sheet. Drizzle or brush olive oil over the cabbage, then season with garlic powder, salt and pepper. Roast the cabbage at high heat until golden brown and tender. After the cabbage is cooked, add a sprinkle of fresh parsley and a little lemon juice. Serve and enjoy!
Tips For The Perfect Side Dish
I find that this recipe tastes best hot from the oven so that the cabbage has crispy edges. You can refrigerate any leftovers for up to 3 days. Reheat leftovers in the microwave, or in a covered dish in the oven. Line the sheet pan with foil coated in cooking spray for easy clean up. Garnish the finished dish with lemon wedges and parsley sprigs for an elegant presentation. This recipe works with any variety of cabbage including purple cabbage or savory cabbage. Make sure all of your cabbage wedges are similar in size so that they cook at the same rate. This roasted cabbage is great when served alongside Instant Pot corned beef, roasted chicken, grilled steak or broiled salmon.
Roasted Cabbage Flavor Variations
While this recipe is delicious as-is, you can add other flavors to customize it to your tastes.
Bacon: Add 1/2 cup of cooked crumbled bacon right before serving. Spicy: Sprinkle crushed chili flakes over the top of the cabbage before it goes into the oven. Seasonings: Amp up the seasonings by adding smoked paprika, onion powder, Italian seasoning or even ranch powder to taste. Cheese: Add 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese during the last 10 minutes of the baking time. Vegetables: Feel free to add other veggies to the pan such as wedges of red onion, mushrooms, butternut squash, cauliflower or sliced carrots. Herbs: Swap out the parsley for dill, basil or chives.
This dish transforms ordinary cabbage to something spectacular. You simply can’t go wrong with roasted cabbage!
