Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
1 medium head of cabbage
Seasonings
3 tablespoons butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Prepare the cabbage: Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage and rinse it under cold water. Cut the cabbage into wedges or slices about 1 to 1.5 inches thick for even baking.
Season the cabbage: Melt the butter and mix in the minced garlic and salt. Brush or drizzle the butter mixture evenly over the cabbage wedges, ensuring each piece is well coated.
Bake the cabbage: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the seasoned cabbage on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender and slightly browned on the edges, turning halfway through for even cooking.
Notes
You can add freshly ground black pepper for additional seasoning.
For a richer flavor, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top before baking.
Adjust baking time based on wedge thickness and your preferred tenderness.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
