🥣 Instructions
Prepare the Cabbage
The preparation time is so short that you can pre-heat the oven right away. The oven is going to be on the hotter side at 210°C / 410°F.
Most importantly, you’re going to need to select your cabbage. I have opted for the savoy variety in this dish as I love how the crinkly leaves catch the marinade, but you can use any cabbage variety you like; white, green, red or sweetheart (AKA pointed).
Start by removing the outer leaves, trimming the stalk, and giving the cabbage a good wash.
Next you will need to slice your cabbage into generously sized wedges. An average sized cabbage can be quartered, but if you have bought or grown a particularly hefty cabbage, then you may need to slice it into sixths so that there is enough marinade on each piece.
Make the Marinade
Once you have placed your cabbage wedges on a baking tray lined with parchment paper or a reusable silicone baking mat, you can add the marinade.
In a small bowl, you will combine all the ingredients for the marinade including olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and nutritional yeast. The nutritional yeast will thicken the marinade so that it is easy to brush over and stick to each cabbage wedge.
Roast
Once each cabbage wedge has been generously coated, add to the oven to bake for around 20-30 minutes. It’s best to keep an eye on things here as the cabbage cooking time will completely depend on how large it was to begin with and the size of the wedges.
Once cooked, the cabbage will be soft and tender on the inside, and the outer leaves will begin to char.
