Ingredients

Scale

Cabbage

  • 1 large green cabbage (cut into 1.5-inch thick rounds)

Seasonings & Oil

  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp paprika (optional, for extra depth)
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)

Cheese

  • 1 cup grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for roasting.
  2. Prepare the cabbage: Arrange the cabbage rounds on a baking sheet, making sure they lie flat for even cooking.
  3. Season the cabbage: Drizzle olive oil over each cabbage round, then season evenly with salt, black pepper, and paprika if using.
  4. Add garlic: Sprinkle the minced garlic evenly over the cabbage rounds for aromatic flavor.
  5. Roast the cabbage: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the cabbage for 25-30 minutes, until the edges develop a golden brown color and the cabbage becomes tender.
  6. Add parmesan cheese: Remove the cabbage from the oven and generously sprinkle grated parmesan cheese on top of each round.
  7. Melt the cheese: Return the cabbage to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until the cheese melts and bubbles beautifully.
  8. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve the garlic parmesan melting cabbage hot for the best taste experience.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the paprika.
  • Use freshly grated parmesan for the best flavor and melting quality.
  • You can substitute olive oil with avocado oil for a slightly different flavor profile.
  • Leftover roasted cabbage can be refrigerated and gently reheated in the oven.
  • This dish pairs well with grilled meats or as a hearty vegetarian main side.
