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 prepare for roasting the cabbage.
- Prepare the Cabbage: Remove any outer damaged leaves from the head of red cabbage. Slice the cabbage into 1-inch thick rounds or wedges to allow for even roasting.
- Season the Cabbage: Brush both sides of each cabbage slice generously with extra virgin olive oil, then sprinkle with salt to taste.
- Roast the Cabbage: Place the cabbage slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a lightly oiled baking rack. Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, flipping the cabbage halfway through to ensure both sides develop a nice golden-brown color and slight caramelization.
- Serve: Remove from the oven once tender and caramelized. Serve warm as a tasty and healthy side dish.
Notes
- Adjust roasting time depending on the thickness of the cabbage slices to avoid undercooking or burning.
- For extra flavor, consider adding garlic powder, smoked paprika, or freshly ground black pepper before roasting.
- Use high-quality extra virgin olive oil for the best taste and health benefits.
- This dish pairs well with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or can be added to grain bowls.
