A simple, savory baked cabbage recipe where the wedges become tender and flavorful with garlic and Parmesan cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 head green cabbage
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Remove any wilted outer leaves from the cabbage. Cut the cabbage into 8 equal wedges, keeping the core intact to hold the leaves together.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
  4. Brush the garlic oil mixture evenly over all sides of the cabbage wedges.
  5. Place the wedges cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 25 minutes.
  7. Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of each wedge.
  8. Return the cabbage to the oven and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender and the cheese is melted and lightly browned.
  9. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • You can achieve a ‘melting’ texture by cooking longer at a slightly lower temperature, around 375 degrees Fahrenheit, for about 45 minutes total.
  • For a richer flavor, substitute melted butter for olive oil in the garlic mixture.
  • This recipe works well as a low carb side dish for weeknight meals.
