Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Remove any damaged outer leaves from the red cabbage and trim the stem.
Step 3
Cut the cabbage into 1-inch thick slices or wedges, keeping the core intact so the pieces hold their shape.
Step 4
Place the cabbage slices on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

In a small bowl, mix the olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
Step 6
Using a brush, lightly coat each side of the cabbage wedges with the olive oil and vinegar mixture.
Step 7
Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, and garlic powder evenly over both sides of the wedges.
Step 8
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 15 minutes.
Step 9
Flip the cabbage slices carefully with a spatula, and continue roasting for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender and the edges are caramelized.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let the cabbage cool slightly before serving.
Step 11
Serve warm as a side dish, or as part of a main course with your favorite protein.
