Ingredients

Scale

For the Cabbage Wedges

  • 1 medium green cabbage
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

For the Onion Dijon Sauce

  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Garnish

  • Fresh herbs (parsley or chives), chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the ideal roasting temperature for perfectly caramelized cabbage.
  2. Prepare Cabbage: Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage for cleanliness and better texture. Cut the cabbage into wedges, slicing through the core so the wedges hold together during roasting.
  3. Season the Cabbage: Arrange the cabbage wedges on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle evenly with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss gently with your hands or tongs to coat each wedge thoroughly.
  4. Roast the Cabbage: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 25 to 35 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through to achieve balanced browning. The cabbage should be tender inside with crispy, golden edges.
  5. Make the Sauce: While the cabbage is roasting, combine the sour cream, Dijon mustard, finely chopped onion, and lemon juice in a mixing bowl. Stir until the sauce is smooth, creamy, and well blended.
  6. Check Cabbage: Once the wedges are golden brown with crisp edges and can be easily pierced with a fork, remove them from the oven.
  7. Serve: Arrange the roasted cabbage wedges on a serving platter. Drizzle generously with the Onion Dijon Sauce and garnish with freshly chopped parsley or chives for a colorful and flavorful finish.

Notes

  • You can add spices such as smoked paprika or cayenne pepper to the cabbage seasoning for a spicy twist.
  • Experiment with fresh herbs like thyme or dill mixed into the sauce for additional flavor.
  • Try grilling the cabbage wedges instead of roasting for a smoky flavor profile.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days; reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes.
  • For a vegan sauce, substitute sour cream with plant-based sour cream and remove any honey if added.
  • Adding grated Parmesan or feta cheese during the last minutes of roasting adds a delicious cheesy variation.
