  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 large head green cabbage, cut into 8 wedges
  • Extra virgin olive oil, for brushing
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

For Serving

  • Tahini sauce (prepared according to tahini recipe)
  • Dukkah (prepared according to dukkah recipe)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit and arrange a rack in the middle position.
  2. Heat Sheet Pan: Place a large sheet pan in the oven to heat up while you prepare the cabbage. This ensures a crispier roast when the cabbage is placed on the hot surface.
  3. Prepare Cabbage Wedges: Brush each cabbage wedge generously with extra virgin olive oil on both sides. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper evenly for balanced flavor.
  4. Arrange Cabbage on Pan: Carefully remove the hot sheet pan from the oven and arrange the cabbage wedges in a single layer, cut sides down to maximize caramelization.
  5. Roast the Cabbage: Roast on the center rack for about 20 minutes. Then, carefully turn each wedge over using tongs or a spatula, and roast for an additional 15 to 20 minutes until the cabbage is tender and has charred spots for a smoky flavor.
  6. Prepare Condiments: While the cabbage roasts, prepare the dukkah and tahini sauce as per their respective recipes so they’re ready to serve.
  7. Finish and Serve: Once the cabbage wedges are roasted and crispy, plate them and finish each wedge with a generous sprinkle of dukkah and a drizzle of tahini sauce to add texture and richness.

Notes

  • Use a very large head of cabbage for large wedges to maintain wedge integrity while roasting.
  • Make sure the oven rack is centered to ensure even cooking.
  • Preheating the baking sheet is key for achieving crispy edges on the cabbage.
  • Turn the wedges gently to avoid breaking them apart.
  • Dukkah can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container for convenience.
  • Tahini sauce adds creaminess and a nutty flavor contrast to the roasted cabbage.
