Description

This Garlic-Parmesan Melting Cabbage is a savory and comforting side dish featuring tender roasted cabbage wedges infused with garlic and topped with melted Parmesan cheese. The cabbage is roasted to achieve a slight crispiness on the edges while remaining soft inside, enhanced by a hint of crushed red pepper flakes for subtle heat. Garnished with fresh parsley, this dish is quick to prepare, making it a flavorful and nutritious addition to any meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Cabbage and Seasoning

  • 1 medium head of cabbage (cut into wedges)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Other Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the cabbage.
  2. Prepare the cabbage: Cut the cabbage into wedges and remove the core. Drizzle olive oil over each wedge, ensuring they are well coated. Season with salt, pepper, and add crushed red pepper flakes if you desire some heat.
  3. Roast the cabbage: Arrange the cabbage wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the cabbage becomes tender and the edges develop a slight crispiness.
  4. Add the garlic: During the last 5 minutes of roasting, sprinkle the minced garlic over the cabbage and return the tray to the oven. Roast until the garlic is fragrant but not burnt, infusing the cabbage with savory flavor.
  5. Finish with Parmesan: Remove the cabbage from the oven and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the wedges. Place back into the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts and becomes bubbly.
  6. Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve the melting cabbage hot to enjoy its rich, savory taste and delightful texture.

Notes

  • For a spicier version, increase the amount of crushed red pepper flakes to taste.
  • Make sure to cut the cabbage into uniform wedges for even roasting.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best flavor and melting quality.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
  • If you prefer a milder garlic flavor, add the garlic in the last 2 minutes instead of 5.
