Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 1 medium green cabbage, cut into 6–8 wedges (leave core intact)
Miso Butter Mixture
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 tablespoon white miso paste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar or lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Garnish (Optional)
- Sesame seeds
- Chopped green onions
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Prepare Miso Butter: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, white miso paste, olive oil, rice vinegar (or lemon juice), minced garlic, and black pepper. Mix well until you achieve a smooth and homogenous spreadable mixture.
- Arrange Cabbage Wedges: Place the cabbage wedges cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet. This will help the cut sides caramelize and become crispy.
- Apply Miso Butter: Using a brush or spoon, generously coat both sides of each cabbage wedge with the miso butter mixture, ensuring full coverage for maximum flavor.
- Roast the Cabbage: Roast the cabbage for 20–25 minutes in the oven, flipping halfway through the cooking time. The wedges should develop golden, crispy edges while becoming tender inside.
- Serve and Garnish: Once roasted, transfer the cabbage wedges to a serving plate. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired. Serve warm to enjoy the best flavors.
Notes
- This dish pairs exceptionally well with roasted tofu, grilled meats, or rice bowls, complementing their flavors.
- For a colorful twist, substitute green cabbage with red cabbage.
- Leftovers can be reheated effectively in an oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
