This dish surprised us. Roasted cabbage doesn’t sound exciting, but it turns into something really beautiful in the oven—caramelized edges, tender centers, and that irresistible drizzle of balsamic reduction over the top. It’s affordable, unfussy, and looks stunning on a platter. The kind of side that proves simple ingredients, treated with care, can steal the show.

Ingredients (5)

Green cabbage(2 heads, cut into 6 wedges, each)
Olive oil(¼ cup, approximately )
for greasing the baking sheet and generously drizzling on the cabbage wedges
Kosher salt(to taste, coarse)
Black pepper(to taste, freshly ground)
Balsamic Reduction(5 oz)
Balsamic Glaze can be used in place of a reduction.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425 °F (220°C).
Prepare the baking sheet: Lightly oil a rimmed baking sheet with olive oil.
Arrange the cabbage: Place the cabbage wedges on the prepared sheet in a single layer.
Season: Drizzle generously with olive oil, then sprinkle with coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Roast: Transfer to the oven and roast for about 20 minutes, or until the edges are caramelized and the cabbage is tender to your liking.
Finish and serve: Arrange the roasted cabbage on a serving platter and drizzle with balsamic reduction or glaze before serving.
