Ingredients
Vegetables
- 1 head cabbage, cut into wedges

Seasoning

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the cabbage into wedges, ensuring they are thick enough to avoid becoming mushy.
- Arrange the cabbage wedges on a large baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced out for even roasting.
Mixing
- In a small bowl, combine the melted butter with minced garlic, stirring to distribute the garlic evenly.
Brushing and Seasoning
- Generously coat each cabbage wedge with the garlic butter mixture using a brush or spoon.
- Sprinkle salt and pepper over each wedge to taste.
Roasting
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the cabbage for 25-30 minutes, watching for tender texture and caramelization.
- Check for tenderness after 25 minutes by piercing the thickest part of a wedge with a fork.
Serving
- Remove the cabbage from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve warm.
Notes
For variations, consider adding cheese, spices, or using different vegetables like Brussels sprouts or cauliflower.
