Ingredients
- 1 head of red cabbage
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it is hot enough for roasting the cabbage evenly.
- Prepare the cabbage: Remove any outer wilted leaves from the cabbage. Cut the head into wedges or thick slices, keeping the core intact to help hold the wedges together.
- Season the cabbage: Place the cabbage wedges on a baking sheet. Drizzle extra virgin olive oil evenly over the wedges and sprinkle salt to taste. Rub the oil and salt on all sides for full coverage.
- Roast the cabbage: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the cabbage for about 25 minutes. Turn the wedges halfway through to ensure even caramelization and browning.
- Serve: Once tender and golden brown on the edges, remove from the oven. Serve warm as a healthy and tasty side dish.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can sprinkle black pepper or garlic powder before roasting.
- Keep the core intact while cutting wedges to help maintain the shape during roasting.
- Use a rimmed baking sheet to catch any drips of olive oil.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for 2-3 days and reheated gently.
