Whether you’re looking to add more vegetables to your diet or need a quick, low-carb side dish, these roasted cabbage wedges are a perfect choice.

Ingredients:
- 1 large green cabbage
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
- 1 lemon (zest and juice)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley or dill for garnish (optional)
Method:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
- Prepare the Cabbage: Cut the cabbage into 6-8 wedges, keeping the core intact to hold the wedges together. Place the wedges on the prepared baking sheet.
- Season the Wedges: In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, olive oil (or melted butter), lemon zest, and lemon juice. Drizzle this mixture evenly over the cabbage wedges. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Roast the Cabbage: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the cabbage wedges for 25-30 minutes, turning them halfway through. The edges should be crispy and browned, and the cabbage should be tender when pierced with a fork.
- Serve: Once the cabbage is roasted to your liking, remove it from the oven and transfer the wedges to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh parsley or dill if desired, and serve immediately.
