Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Green cabbage
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 3 large Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage and cut it into 1-inch thick wedges, keeping the core intact to hold the layers together.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and red chili flakes to create a flavorful glaze.
Place the cabbage wedges on the prepared baking sheet and brush each side generously with the glaze.
Roast the cabbage wedges in the oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through. The edges should turn golden and slightly crispy, while the inside remains tender.
While the cabbage cooks, finely chop the fresh parsley and zest the lemon to create a bright garnish.
Once the cabbage is done roasting, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly.
Transfer the wedges to a serving platter, sprinkle with fresh parsley and lemon zest, and serve warm. Enjoy the bold, isolated flavors of the Cabbage of Ostracism!
