In a small bowl, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter.
Whisk in 1 tablespoon of honey, the minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, and ¼ teaspoon of black pepper until well combined.
Brush the Garlic Mixture:
Generously brush the garlic-butter mixture over the tops of the cabbage wedges.
Roasting:
Roast the cabbage in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. After this time, carefully flip the wedges over using a spatula.
Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of freshly grated Parmesan cheese (if using) over the flipped sides of the cabbage. Continue roasting for an additional 15 to 20 minutes or until the cabbage is tender and the edges are dark brown. Don’t worry if some pieces get extra crispy; those are often the most flavorful!
Garnish and Serve:
Once roasted, remove the cabbage from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley or chives for a burst of color and freshness. Allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Presentation Tips
To serve, arrange the roasted cabbage wedges on a beautiful platter, drizzling any remaining garlic butter from the baking sheet over the top.
Consider garnishing with additional herbs or Parmesan for an extra touch.
This dish pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, fish, or even as a hearty vegetarian option alongside grains.
