Author Notes
We started roasting cabbage like this last summer, back when our CSA haul featured cabbage almost weekly. Months later, we’re still eating it this way, usually as part of a quick weeknight meal along with some sausage and white beans in olive oil. Leftovers go great in lunches along with some feta or goat cheese. —Amanda Waddell
Ingredients
-
1
whole cabbage, red or green
-
Olive oil, for brushing
-
Salt and pepper
-
7-8
garlic cloves, whole (unpeeled or peeled—unpeeled is probably better to avoid burning)
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
-
Place the cabbage upright on a cutting board, core/stem side on the bottom. Slice straight down into one-inch thick rounds, or as close to that as you can get. It doesn’t need to perfect.
-
Place rounds on a baking sheet. Brush both sides with olive oil and sprinkle generously with salt (I use kosher) and pepper. I find cabbage needs quite a bit of salt, so don’t be shy. Place a few garlic cloves on the sheet along with the cabbage, brushing with a little olive oil as well.
-
Roast for about 30 minutes, until the tip of a knife slips easily through the core. Smash the roasted garlic cloves into the cabbage and serve.
