Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 medium green cabbage, cut into 6–8 wedges (core left intact)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon white miso paste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Chopped green onions or sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- Make the miso butter mixture: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, white miso paste, olive oil, soy sauce, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.
- Prepare the cabbage wedges: Place the cabbage wedges cut side down on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced for roasting.
- Apply the miso butter: Generously brush the miso butter mixture over the tops and sides of each cabbage wedge to infuse them with flavor.
- Roast the cabbage: Roast the cabbage in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through to ensure even browning. Roast until the edges are golden and crispy and the cabbage is tender.
- Optional broiling: For an extra layer of caramelization, broil the cabbage for an additional 2–3 minutes at the end of roasting, watching closely to avoid burning.
- Garnish and serve: Remove the cabbage wedges from the oven and optionally sprinkle with chopped green onions or sesame seeds before serving.
Notes
- This recipe works well with red cabbage for a colorful alternative.
- To make a vegan version, substitute unsalted butter with vegan butter or a neutral oil like avocado or vegetable oil.
- Serve these roasted cabbage wedges as a flavorful side dish or enjoy them as a hearty vegetarian main course.
