Ingredients

For the Cabbage

  • 1 medium Cabbage Choose a medium green cabbage with no blemishes for the best texture.

For the Seasoning

  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Extra virgin adds richness and enhances the roasting process.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Kosher salt ensures even distribution for perfect seasoning.
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika Smoked paprika offers a deeper flavor, perfect for this dish.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground Turmeric Use sparingly for vibrant color and added health benefits.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper Freshly ground is essential for elevating all the flavors.
  • 1 teaspoon Cumin Powder A little goes a long way in adding earthy aroma to your dish.

For Acidity

  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Lemon Juice Squeezing over the cabbage adds a fresh brightness just before serving.

Instructions

Steps to Prepare

  • Preheat Oven: Begin by heating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup a breeze.
  • Cut Cabbage: Take your medium green cabbage and slice it into wedges, keeping the core intact for stability. This will help retain shape during roasting.
  • Season Cabbage: In a large mixing bowl, drizzle extra virgin olive oil over the cabbage wedges. Add kosher salt, smoked paprika, ground turmeric, cumin powder, and freshly ground black pepper. Toss gently until every wedge is evenly coated with the spices.
  • Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the seasoned cabbage wedges in a single layer on the lined baking sheet. Make sure not to overcrowd them; this ensures they roast beautifully and become crispy.
  • Roast Cabbage: Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes. Keep an eye on them, and turn the cabbage halfway through until the edges are crispy and golden brown.
  • Finish with Lemon Juice: Once roasted, remove the baking sheet from the oven and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the cabbage for a bright finish. Serve hot, and watch your family enjoy every bite!

Notes

Optional: Add a sprinkle of chili flakes for an extra kick! For best results, consume leftover cabbage within 2 hours if left at room temperature.
