Description
This recipe cooks cabbage wedges until they are tender and slightly caramelized, topped with a savory garlic and Parmesan cheese sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 head green cabbage
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chicken broth or water
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
- Cut the cabbage head into four equal wedges, keeping the core intact to hold the leaves together.
- Brush both sides of each cabbage wedge lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Place the wedges cut-side down in a baking dish large enough to hold them in a single layer.
- Roast for 20 minutes.
- While the cabbage roasts, prepare the topping: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Do not let the garlic brown.
- Stir the chicken broth and Parmesan cheese into the butter mixture until smooth. Remove from heat.
- After 20 minutes of roasting, carefully remove the baking dish from the oven. Brush the tops of the cabbage wedges generously with the garlic Parmesan mixture.
- Return the dish to the oven and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender and the topping is bubbly and slightly golden.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- You can substitute vegetable broth for chicken broth if you prefer a vegetarian option.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic butter mixture.
- If you do not have a baking dish, you can cook this in a cast-iron skillet.
