🥬🧄 Cheesy Garlic Baked Cabbage
Tender roasted cabbage with crispy caramelized edges, buttery garlic seasoning, and a golden Parmesan-cheese topping. Cheap, simple, and surprisingly satisfying.
Ingredients
1 large head green cabbage
3 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp melted butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
¾ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
¼ tsp red pepper flakes, optional
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar, optional
Fresh parsley for garnish
Directions: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the cabbage into ¾–1-inch thick steaks or wedges. Keep part of the core attached so the pieces hold together while roasting.
Combine the olive oil, melted butter, minced garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes.
Arrange the cabbage in a single layer and generously brush both sides with the garlic-butter mixture.
Bake for 20 minutes, carefully flip the cabbage, and roast for another 15 minutes.
Sprinkle Parmesan and optional mozzarella or cheddar over the cabbage. Return to the oven for 5–8 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the cabbage has beautifully browned, crispy edges. 🧀🔥
For extra caramelization, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end, watching carefully.
Finish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
