Ingredients
  

  • 1 large green cabbage Approximately 2 pounds before trimming
  • 1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Olive oil spray For coating

Equipment

  • Rimmed baking sheet
  • Aluminum foil
  • Olive oil spray
  • paper towels
  • Knife

Method
 

Step 1: Preheat and Prep
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and spray it generously with olive oil.
Step 2: Prepare the Cabbage
  1. Remove any damaged outer leaves from the cabbage. Cut the cabbage in half, then slice each half into wedges, leaving the core intact to hold the wedges together.
Step 3: Rinse and Dry
  1. Rinse the cabbage wedges under cold water, then pat them dry carefully with paper towels to prevent steaming during roasting.
Step 4: Season and Arrange
  1. Place the cabbage wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Spray generously with olive oil, then season with kosher salt, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes.
Step 5: Roast to Perfection
  1. Roast in the oven for 25–30 minutes, turning halfway through. Look for golden-brown caramelized edges and fork-tender centers. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
