- One cabbage head
- Your preferred seasonings (garlic, salt, pepper, etc.)
- Olive oil or the cooking oil of your choice
- Additional veggies or seasonings (bacon pieces, onions, bell peppers, carrots, etc.) are optional but might improve the dish.
Get the cabbage ready:
If the cabbage’s outer leaves seem rough or damaged, start by removing them.
After giving the cabbage a quick rinse in cold water, towel dry.
Distinctive Cutting Method:
Try this interesting technique instead of slicing the cabbage into wedges or shreds: cut the cabbage head many times, deeply and crisscrossingly, being careful not to cut all the way through. This forms pockets in the cabbage, allowing the flavors and heat to seep deeply.
Season With Generosity:
Make sure the olive oil soaks into the cabbage by drizzling it on top.
Add plenty of salt, pepper, and any additional spices or herbs that you like to season. To properly spread the tastes, rub the seasonings into the cabbage, kneading them into the slices.
Optional Add-Ins: To give the cuts more taste and richness, you can optionally include slices of different vegetables, bacon bits, or tiny amounts of butter.
Cook Everything to Perfection:
- Turn the oven on to 375°F, or 190°C.
- Place the seasoned cabbage on a baking dish and cover it with aluminum foil.
- Bake for 45 to 60 minutes, or until the cabbage is soft and the sides start to turn golden brown.
- Leave the cabbage unwrapped for the last ten to fifteen minutes of roasting for a crispy finish.
Present and Savor:
- The cabbage should be carefully taken out of the oven and allowed to cool somewhat.
- Tear apart or cut into wedges the fragile leaves.
- You can eat it as an appetizer or as a part of your main course.
