Ingredients
- 1 medium head of cabbage
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- Prepare the Cabbage: Remove any outer wilted leaves from the cabbage and slice it into thick wedges to ensure even cooking.
- Season the Cabbage: Brush each wedge generously with melted butter, then sprinkle minced garlic and salt evenly over the surface.
- Bake the Cabbage: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the seasoned cabbage wedges on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil. Bake for 35-45 minutes until the cabbage is tender and slightly caramelized around the edges.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm as a flavorful side dish.
Notes
- For extra flavor, sprinkle some black pepper or a pinch of smoked paprika before baking.
- You can add a squeeze of lemon juice after baking for a fresh zing.
- If preferred, use olive oil instead of butter for a dairy-free version.
