Description

Friends, don't underestimate mighty cabbage! It roasts up wonderfully with crispy edges and a buttery-soft center. Follow my recipe for a quick, healthy no-fuss side dish that comes together with just a few basic ingredients. Option to serve it with (or without) a lemon herb tahini drizzle!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 small head green cabbage (~1.5 lbs.)
  • 3-4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • optional: serve with Lemon Garlic Herb Tahini Sauce (for drizzling overtop)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Prepare the Cabbage. Wash and dry the cabbage, remove only the outer wrapper leaves, and slightly trim the stem, leaving the core intact. Cut the cabbage lengthwise into quarters.
  3. Season & Roast. Place the cabbage quarters in a 12-inch cast iron skillet, generously coat all sides with olive oil using a silicone brush, and sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper. Cover the skillet tightly with a lid and roast for 40 minutes.
  4. Flip & Continue Roasting. Remove the skillet from the oven, uncover, and gently flip each cabbage quarter so one cut side is facing down. Roast uncovered for 15 minutes, then remove and flip again so the other cut side is facing down. Continue roasting for 10-15 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
  5. Check for Doneness & Serve. Insert a knife into the thickest part near the core - it should slide in and out effortlessly. If there’s resistance, return to the oven uncovered for 10 more minutes until the cabbage is soft and tender throughout, with no crunchy areas. Serve immediately with the optional tahini sauce drizzled on top or on the side.

Equipment

Notes

Storage & Reheating. Once fully cooled to room temperature, store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. To reheat, place in a lightly oiled cast iron skillet at 400°F for 10 minutes or until warmed through. Store the sauce separately.
