Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 large green cabbage (cut into 1.5-inch thick rounds)

Seasonings & Oils

  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp paprika (optional, for extra depth)
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)

Cheese

  • 1 cup grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for roasting the cabbage rounds evenly.
  2. Prepare the Cabbage: Place the 1.5-inch thick cabbage rounds on a baking sheet, spaced evenly for proper roasting.
  3. Season the Cabbage: Drizzle the olive oil over the cabbage rounds, then sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and paprika if using, to enhance the flavor.
  4. Add Garlic: Evenly sprinkle the minced garlic over the cabbage rounds for a robust garlic flavor that will roast to perfection.
  5. Roast the Cabbage: Roast the cabbage in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until the edges start turning golden brown, indicating caramelization and tenderness.
  6. Add Parmesan Cheese: Remove the cabbage from the oven and generously sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over each round.
  7. Melt the Cheese: Return the cabbage to the oven and roast for an additional 5-10 minutes until the parmesan cheese melts and bubbles, creating a savory crust.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Remove from the oven and serve the Garlic Parmesan Melting Cabbage hot as a delicious side dish.

  • Optional paprika adds subtle warmth and depth but can be omitted if preferred.
  • Use freshly grated parmesan for best melting and flavor results.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and gently reheated in the oven or stovetop.
  • To add more flavor, you can sprinkle fresh herbs like parsley before serving.
