Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the stem off cabbage and then cut cabbage into 1” thick slices. Place cabbage slices onto prepared baking tray.
1 small head green cabbage
Whisk together oil, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Drizzle half of the mixture over cabbage. Rub mixture into cabbage with fingers. Flip cabbage over and repeat on the other side.
2 Tablespoons olive oil, 1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder, 1 teaspoon sea salt, ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Place pan in the preheated oven and roast for 25 minutes, or until cabbage starts to brown on the edges and is tender. Serve immediately!
Notes
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4–5 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for best texture.
Cut size matters: Thicker slices hold their shape better and give you that perfect balance of tender centers and caramelized edges.
Add toppings after roasting: If you’re adding things like parmesan, lemon juice or fresh herbs, wait until the cabbage is done roasting for the best flavor.
