Ingredients for oven roasted cabbage wedges

To make this easy cabbage recipe, you’ll need the following ingredients:

Cabbage wedges with lemon, parsley, salt, pepper, Parmesan cheese, butter and onion powder on a marble counter.

  • ½ of a medium cabbage, cut into 4 wedges
  • Cooking spray
  • 5 tablespoons of unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves of garlic, minced
  • ¼ teaspoon of sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon of cracked black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon of onion powder

  • Chopped parsley and lemon wedges, to garnish

You’ll also need an ovenproof baking dish, a silicone basting brush, and a garlic press.

How to roast cabbage

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray the bottom of a 13×9-inch ovenproof baking dish.

This Parmesan roast cabbage recipe only calls for a half head of cabbage. If your cabbage is whole, cut it in half. Make sure to slice through the top of the cabbage, down through the core.

Place you cabbage cut side down, with the core facing you. Cut it into four wedges that are approximately the same size, making sure that each wedge has a piece of the core.

It’s important that each wedge has a section of core in it, so that the wedges will stay in tact.
