Ingredients
Scale
- 1 head green cabbage, cut into 4 wedges
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning to create the garlic oil mixture.
- Place the cabbage wedges cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the garlic oil mixture evenly over the top and sides of each cabbage wedge.
- Roast for 20 minutes.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of each cabbage wedge.
- Return the cabbage to the oven and bake for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, golden brown, and the cabbage is tender throughout.
- Serve immediately as a simple side dish or a low carb main course.
Notes
- For a crispier edge, you can briefly place the wedges under the broiler for the last 1-2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
- If you prefer a softer texture, cover the wedges loosely with foil for the first 15 minutes of roasting.
- This recipe works well with ground beef and cabbage recipes mixed in if you want a heartier meal.
