Cabbage was never one of my favorite vegetables. I don’t know when the switch flipped for me, but my current love of cabbage probably started with coleslaw, even if these days I prefer Brussels Sprouts Coleslaw.
My go-to way to prepare cabbage is to make oven-roasted cabbage wedges or steaks. It could not be easier. And, these baked cabbage wedges can be served as a side dish to just about everything!
Why This Recipe Works
- This recipe is super easy and takes only minutes to prepare.
- It’s a great way to use up any leftover cabbage you may have from other recipes.
- Roasted cabbage is low carb, keto, and gluten free.
How to Make Roasted Cabbage Wedges
Prep!
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Remove the outer leaves from your head of cabbage and trim the stem, if needed.
Tip: it is recommended to not fully trim off the stem. It helps hold the wedges together, especially after they are done roasting and more tender.
Cut the head of cabbage in half from top to bottom. Set aside one half for later use (unless you are doubling the recipe). Next cut one half of the cabbage into 4 equal sized wedges of cabbage.
Create!
Place the cabbage wedges on a sheet pan. Drizzle or brush on the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Roast for 15 minutes, then flip and roast an additional 10-15 minutes or until the cabbage wedges are caramelized and tender with crispy edges.
Present!
Serve hot.
Tips and Techniques for the Best Roasted Cabbage Wedges

FAQ’s
