Ingredients
Roasted Cabbage
- 1/2 medium green cabbage (about 1½ pounds)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (or garlic infused olive oil)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Onion Dijon Sauce
- 3 tablespoons butter (or margarine to be dairy free)
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh onion (or shallot, or white part of sliced green onion, with green parts chopped for sprinkling)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (or to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic (or 1/4 teaspoon dried, granulated garlic)
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- Optional: chopped chives or parsley for serving
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Heat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Cabbage Wedges: Cut the half cabbage into four equal wedges. Use a pastry brush to coat the cut sides of each wedge with olive oil. Season both sides of the wedges with salt and pepper evenly.
- Roast Cabbage: Place the cabbage wedges cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 10-12 minutes, then carefully flip each wedge. Continue roasting for another 8-10 minutes until the cabbage is nicely browned and the edges are crispy and caramelized.
- Make Onion Dijon Sauce: While the cabbage roasts, combine butter, minced onion, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the butter melts completely and the mixture is warm and blended. Alternatively, you can microwave the ingredients in a microwave-safe bowl on high for about 1 minute, then warm again before serving.
- Serve: Arrange the roasted cabbage wedges on serving plates. Whisk the onion Dijon sauce well and drizzle generously over the cabbage. Garnish with optional chopped chives or parsley for a fresh finish.
Notes
- The dark brown, crispy edges of the roasted cabbage wedges are particularly delicious—don’t worry about some extra browning.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute butter with margarine in the sauce.
- Garlic infused olive oil adds extra flavor if available, but regular olive oil works just as well.
- You can adjust the amount of Dijon mustard in the sauce depending on your preferred tanginess.
- Serve this dish hot as a side for grilled meats, roasted chicken, or a vegetarian main.
