The taste of cabbage as we know it is completely altered in this Oven Roasted Cabbage Recipe ~ roasted cabbage is a deliciously crispy and satisfying side dish you are sure to love.

Ingredients

  • 1 head of cabbage
  • olive oil to brush cabbage with
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • salt and pepper
  • parsley and chili flakes to garnish

For the Spicy Pumpkin Sauce:

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion peeled and chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic peeled and chopped
  • 1/2 can 100% pure pumpkin
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • 1/4 tsp turmeric
  • 1/4 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp coriander
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • First off, peel of any damaged leaves around the cabbage. Then, keeping the core intact, cut the cabbage into 1/4 inch thick slices/steaks.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and while it is heating up, brush both sides of the cabbage steaks with olive oil.
  • Place cabbage steaks onto a parchment or silpat lined baking tray.
  • Sprinkle with salt and your favorite spices and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the cabbage slices are golden.

For the Spicy Pumpkin Sauce:

  • While the cabbage is roasting you can make the spicy pumpkin sauce by sauteing the onion and garlic in oil over medium heat for about 10 minutes.
  • Then add in the pure pumpkin puree and coconut milk and stir well.
  • Immediately after, add in the turmeric, cumin, coriander, and smoked paprika and stir well.
  • Let simmer about 5 minutes and then either transfer everything to a blender or transfer to a bowl in which you can use an immersion blender to blend the ingredients into a creamy sauce. When well blended add in salt and pepper to taste - a couple of pinches worked for us.
  • Serve Spicy Pumpkin Sauce on Roasted Cabbage Slices, garnish with chopped parsley and chili flakes and enjoy as a side dish with your favorite main dishes.

Notes

*Leave the core intact - it is delicious oven roasted and it also holds the cabbage steaks together.
*When these cabbage slices come out of the oven, don’t fret if the edges are burnt – those burnt parts are the tastiest part! In fact, I snacked on quite a few of the burnt bits before taking these pictures.
