Ingredients

• 1 head Green cabbage
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 3 large Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Red chili flakes
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage and cut it into 1-inch thick wedges, keeping the core intact to hold the layers together.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and red chili flakes to create a flavorful glaze.

Step 4

Place the cabbage wedges on the prepared baking sheet and brush each side generously with the glaze.

Step 5

Roast the cabbage wedges in the oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through. The edges should turn golden and slightly crispy, while the inside remains tender.

Step 6

While the cabbage cooks, finely chop the fresh parsley and zest the lemon to create a bright garnish.

Step 7

Once the cabbage is done roasting, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly.

Step 8

Transfer the wedges to a serving platter, sprinkle with fresh parsley and lemon zest, and serve warm. Enjoy the bold, isolated flavors of the Cabbage of Ostracism!
