Ingredients:
1 large green cabbage, cut into 1.5-inch thick rounds (about 4–6 slices)
3 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp paprika (optional, for smoky flavor)
4 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
¼ cup low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth (optional, adds moisture)
Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
Preheat Oven
Preheat to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Prepare Cabbage Slices
Arrange cabbage rounds in a single layer on the baking sheet without overlapping.
Make Garlic Butter
Mix melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika in a small bowl.
Brush & Roast
Generously brush both sides of the cabbage slices with the garlic butter mixture. Roast for 20 minutes.
Flip & Add Parmesan
Flip each cabbage slice carefully. If using broth, spoon it around (not on top). Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
Finish Roasting
Roast another 15–20 minutes until the cabbage is tender, edges are crispy, and the Parmesan is golden and bubbly.
