Ingredients
For the Cabbage:
½ medium green cabbage (about 1½ pounds)
1 tablespoon olive oil (or garlic-infused olive oil)
Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Onion Dijon Sauce:
3 tablespoons butter or margarine (for dairy-free)
2 tablespoons minced fresh onion, shallot, or white part of green onion
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (or to taste)
½ teaspoon minced garlic (or ¼ teaspoon dried garlic)
⅛ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon black pepper
Optional: chopped fresh chives or parsley, for garnish
Instructions
Prep oven: Preheat to 450°F. Line a medium sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
Prep cabbage: Cut cabbage half into 4 equal wedges. Brush cut sides with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Flip and repeat.
Roast cabbage: Place cabbage on baking sheet and roast for 10–12 minutes. Flip wedges and roast an additional 8–10 minutes, until browned and crispy on edges.
Make sauce: While cabbage roasts, add all sauce ingredients to a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until butter is melted and mixture is warmed. (Alternatively, microwave for about 1 minute and stir before serving.)
Serve: Transfer cabbage wedges to plates. Whisk the sauce well to re-emulsify if separated, then drizzle over cabbage. Garnish with chopped parsley or chives, if using.
Notes
Double the sauce if you love extra drizzle—many reviewers recommend it!
Add 1 teaspoon cream or milk to help keep the sauce emulsified if it separates.
Don’t be afraid of browning—those crispy edges are the best part!
