Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Green cabbage
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F).
Remove any loose or damaged outer leaves from the cabbage and rinse it thoroughly.
Cut the cabbage into 4 wedges, keeping the core intact to help hold the wedges together.
Tear off 4 large sheets of aluminum foil, each large enough to fully wrap a cabbage wedge.
Place each cabbage wedge in the center of a foil sheet.
Brush each wedge generously with olive oil, ensuring it’s well coated.
Sprinkle the garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper evenly over all the wedges.
Place 1 tablespoon of butter on top of each cabbage wedge.
Wrap each wedge tightly in the foil, folding the edges securely to prevent any leaks.
Place the foil packets on the preheated grill and cook for 20-25 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the cabbage is tender and slightly caramelized.
Carefully remove the packets from the grill and let them cool for a minute before opening, as the steam will be hot.
Unwrap, garnish with fresh parsley (if desired), and serve warm.
