Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

• 1 medium head of green cabbage
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 tablespoon capers, rinsed and chopped
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Cut the cabbage into wedges, keeping the core intact to hold them together.
3. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
4. Brush the garlic oil mixture generously over the cabbage wedges, ensuring they are evenly coated.
5. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the wedges, pressing gently to adhere.
6. Place the cabbage wedges on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
7. While the cabbage roasts, prepare the salsa verde by combining parsley, cilantro, capers, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes in a bowl. Stir well to mix.
8. Remove the cabbage from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving with the salsa verde on the side.

Notes

Storage: Store leftover cabbage wedges in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to keep them crispy.

For extra crunch, try broiling the wedges for the last few minutes of cooking. Be cautious not to burn them! If you’re short on time, pre-chopped cabbage can save you prep time.

Feel free to customize the salsa verde by adding ingredients like capers or olives for an extra flavor boost. Leftover wedges can be stored in an airtight container and reheated in the oven to maintain their crispiness.
