Make this Garlic Parmesan Melting Cabbage for a tender, savory side dish. This easy cabbage recipe roasts wedges until they are perfectly caramelized and cheesy, making it a favorite comfort food veggie.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large head green cabbage
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Remove any loose outer leaves from the cabbage. Cut the cabbage head into 8 equal wedges, keeping the core intact on each wedge to hold the layers together.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  4. Brush the oil mixture evenly over all sides of the cabbage wedges. Place the wedges cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Roast for 20 minutes.
  6. Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of each wedge.
  7. Return the cabbage to the oven and bake for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are slightly crispy and the cheese is melted and golden brown.
  8. Serve immediately as a delicious side dish or low carb cabbage recipe.

Notes

  • For a Southern fried cabbage flavor profile, you can substitute half the olive oil with bacon grease and add 2 slices of crumbled cooked bacon before serving.
  • If you prefer a creamier texture, skip the roasting step and instead braise the wedges in 1/2 cup of chicken broth until tender, then sprinkle with Parmesan and broil briefly.
  • This recipe works well for meal prep; reheat leftovers in a toaster oven for the best texture.
