Description

This Miso Butter Roasted Cabbage Wedges recipe offers a deliciously savory and umami-packed side dish or vegetarian main course. Tender cabbage wedges are brushed generously with a miso-infused butter and roasted to caramelized perfection. Toasted panko breadcrumbs seasoned with garlic powder add a crunchy, flavorful topping, while optional fresh parsley provides a vibrant finish. Easy to prepare and perfect for adding a unique twist to standard roasted vegetables.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Miso Butter Mixture

  • 3 tbsp butter, divided
  • 1 tbsp miso paste (red or brown recommended)

For the Cabbage

  • 1 sweetheart (hispi) cabbage, cut into 4 wedges (pointed cabbage in the US)

For the Breadcrumb Topping

  • 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder

For Garnish (Optional)

  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) to ensure it’s at the right temperature for roasting the cabbage, which helps achieve caramelization and tender texture.
  2. Prepare the Miso Butter Mixture: Soften 2 tbsp of butter and mix it thoroughly with the miso paste until the mixture is smooth and well combined, ensuring an even coating with umami flavor.
  3. Brush the Cabbage: Cut the sweetheart cabbage into 4 wedges and generously brush the miso butter mixture over all sides of each wedge, including the base, to infuse flavor throughout.
  4. Roast the Cabbage: Place the coated cabbage wedges on a baking sheet and roast them in the preheated oven for approximately 25-30 minutes or until the edges are golden and the cabbage is tender.
  5. Prepare the Breadcrumb Topping: In a pan over medium heat, add the panko breadcrumbs and garlic powder. Stir continuously to toast the breadcrumbs until they turn golden brown, then immediately remove from heat to prevent burning.
  6. Assemble and Garnish: Remove the cabbage wedges from the oven, sprinkle the toasted breadcrumb mixture evenly over the wedges, and optionally garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh pop of color and flavor.
  7. Serve Warm: Serve the miso butter roasted cabbage wedges warm as a flavorful side dish or a vegetarian main course.

Notes

  • Red or brown miso paste is recommended for best flavor, but white miso can also be used for a milder taste.
  • Ensure butter is softened to mix easily with the miso paste for a smooth application.
  • Keep a close eye when toasting the breadcrumbs as they can burn quickly.
  • Sweetheart or hispi cabbage is suggested for this recipe due to its tenderness and flavor; pointed cabbage works as a substitute.
  • This dish pairs well with rice, noodles, or grilled proteins.
