Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 1 medium head red cabbage

Seasonings & Oils

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Prepare the Cabbage: Remove any damaged outer leaves from the red cabbage and cut it into 8 wedges, keeping the core intact to hold the wedges together during roasting.
  3. Make the Seasoning Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, balsamic vinegar, smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to create a flavorful marinade for the cabbage.
  4. Season the Cabbage: Arrange the cabbage wedges on the prepared baking sheet and brush both sides generously with the seasoning mixture to ensure even flavor and coating.
  5. Roast the Cabbage: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 20 minutes. Carefully flip the wedges over to promote even caramelization on both sides.
  6. Continue Roasting: Roast for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender and the edges are golden and caramelized for maximum flavor.
  7. Finish and Serve: Remove the cabbage from the oven, drizzle with lemon juice if desired to add brightness, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm for the best taste experience.

Notes

  • Cut the cabbage into evenly sized wedges to ensure consistent cooking throughout.
  • Roast the cabbage cut-side down first to encourage deep caramelization and richer flavor.
  • For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese during the last 5 minutes of roasting.
  • You can substitute apple cider vinegar for balsamic vinegar if preferred for a different tang.
  • Adjust the amount of smoked paprika to make the dish milder or smokier according to your preference.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat leftovers in the oven or an air fryer to restore some crispness and texture.
