Roasted Cabbage with Lemon and Parmesan: A Vegetarian Side Dish to Delight

As an artist who loves to dabble in culinary arts, I’m always on the lookout for exciting ways to prepare vegetables. This recipe for roasted cabbage with lemon and parmesan, adapted from Smitten Kitchen, caught my eye and did not disappoint! This simple yet flavorful side dish transforms humble cabbage into a buttery, bright delight. Let me share some tips and insights from my kitchen to yours.

Bringing Out the Best in Roasted Cabbage

High Heat is Key

The secret to this recipe lies in high heat. Preheat your oven to 475°F. That intense heat caramelizes the cabbage’s natural sugars, creating those irresistible crispy, charred edges that elevate this dish from simple to sublime.

Prepping the Cabbage

Use a sharp knife to cut the cabbage into wedges, ensuring they’re about the same size for even cooking. I like to use savoy cabbage for its delicate flavor and texture, but any variety will work.

The Lemon-Garlic Dressing: A Symphony of Flavors

While the cabbage roasts, prepare the dressing. The bright acidity of fresh lemon juice, the pungent kick of garlic, and the fruity depth of olive oil combine to create a dressing that sings.

A Tip from My Kitchen:

Let the dressing sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This enhances the overall taste.

The Finishing Touch

As soon as the cabbage emerges from the oven, generously spoon the dressing over the hot wedges. Finish with a generous grating of parmesan cheese for a salty, savory touch.
