Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Green cabbage
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 cup Thousand Island dressing
- 1.5 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.
Remove any wilted outer leaves from the cabbage. Cut the cabbage into thick wedges, approximately 1.5–2 inches wide, keeping the core intact to help hold the wedges together.
Place the cabbage wedges on the prepared baking dish and brush both sides with olive oil. Sprinkle the wedges evenly with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, allowing the cabbage to soften slightly.
Remove the foil and spread a tablespoon or so of Thousand Island dressing over each cabbage wedge, ensuring it is evenly coated.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously over the top of each dressed wedge.
In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with the melted butter until evenly combined. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the cheddar cheese on each wedge for a crispy topping.
Return the cabbage to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 15–20 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender, the cheese is melted, and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
