It's the 3rd annual Black History Month Virtual Potluck and I'm bringing Sweet and Spicy Roasted Cabbage! #BHMPotluck Click to Tweet

I grew up eating cabbage the usual southern way – cooked down in a pot with or without meat until tender. And I still eat it that way with cornbread. But I have to say… this roasted cabbage is so easy and delicious, that it’s been my go-to method for a few years now.

How to roast cabbage

This simple recipe needs only a few ingredients. The key to getting that gorgeous color is space. And a generous dose of oil.

The toasted sesame oil adds an irresistible nutty flavor. I don’t recommend skipping it but if you don’t have any on hand, try olive or avocado oil.

The hot oven helps create that beautiful golden color. To make sure you get a good char, make sure the cabbage wedges are dry when you place them on the pan.

Important: Take care not to crowd the pan so that the cabbage has room to caramelize not steam.

Truth be told, the cabbage develops a lovely sweetness from roasting alone. But that generous honey drizzle sets it off.

Ingredients

  • 1 medium head green cabbage
  • 1 tablespoon olive or avocado oil
  • 2 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • coarse salt, to taste
  • 2 tablespoon honey

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450ºF. Brush a large sheet pan with the avocado oil.
  • Cut the head of cabbage in half and remove the core. Slice into about 8 - 1 inch wedges. Place wedges on the pan in a single layer. Brush evenly with the toasted sesame oil, sprinkle with red pepper flakes, and salt to taste.
  • Roast cabbage about 15 minutes or until the underside is browned. Turn each wedge (carefully). Roast an additional 10 minutes, until the cabbage is tender but not softened. When done, drizzle with warm honey. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

TIP: To make this recipe vegan, swap the honey for maple or date syrup.
TIP: Don't crowd the sheet pan. To get a lovely char, leave plenty of space on the pan. Without enough space, the cabbage will steam.

    Oh wow! I typically don’t think that cabbage is that exciting (I like it, but don’t LOVE it), but this seriously looks SO good… I need to try it ASAP!!
