Ingredients
- 1 medium head of cabbage (cut into wedges)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). -
Prepare the cabbage:
Cut the cabbage into wedges and remove the core. Drizzle olive oil over the cabbage wedges, ensuring each piece is coated. Season with salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). -
Roast the cabbage:
Place the cabbage wedges on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 20-25 minutes until the cabbage is tender and slightly crispy at the edges. -
Add the garlic:
In the last 5 minutes of roasting, add the minced garlic to the cabbage and return it to the oven to roast until the garlic becomes fragrant (be careful not to burn it). -
Finish with Parmesan:
Remove the cabbage from the oven, sprinkle with grated Parmesan, and return to the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. -
Serve:
Garnish with fresh parsley, and serve hot. Enjoy the savory goodness of this melting cabbage!
Notes
- Feel free to add more Parmesan for extra cheesy goodness.
- For a lower-carb version, you can reduce the amount of Parmesan cheese or skip it.
- You can also add a drizzle of balsamic vinegar after roasting for a tangy twist.
