Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium head cabbage green or purple
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes adjust to taste
  • 1 lemon for zest and juice
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
  2. Remove any damaged outer leaves from the cabbage, then rinse and pat dry.
  3. Cut the cabbage in half through the core, then slice each half into 1-inch thick wedges, keeping a bit of the core intact to hold each wedge together.
  4. Place the cabbage wedges on the prepared baking sheet, arranging them in a single layer with some space between each piece.
  5. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, and lemon zest.
  6. Brush the oil mixture evenly over both sides of each cabbage wedge. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  7. Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then carefully flip each wedge and continue roasting for another 10-15 minutes until edges are crispy and golden brown.
  8. Remove from the oven and immediately squeeze fresh lemon juice over the hot cabbage.
  9. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve hot.
