Ingredients

1 head red or green cabbage about 3 lbs.
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp Za’atar spice blend plus more to taste
2 tsp garlic powder

Remove the cabbage's outer leaves and cut it in half through the core.
Cut the cabbage halves into 1-inch thick wedges.
Place the cabbage wedges onto the baking sheet in a single layer, leaving about ½-inch between each.
Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the cabbage wedges. If needed, brush the olive oil with a pastry brush to cover the vegetables evenly. Sprinkle the cabbage with Za’atar, garlic powder, and salt.

Notes

Recipe Pro-Tips

Za'atar Substitute: Swap any combination of 3 tablespoons of dried thyme, oregano, cumin, coriander, sumac, and sesame seeds.
Cut even wedges. Ensure even roasting and the most tender cabbage by cutting it into similarly-sized, 1-inch thick pieces.
Don't remove the core. It holds the leaves together so each wedge stays intact on the pan.
Space them out. The baked cabbage wedges need space between them for hot air circulation, preventing sogginess and helping them to caramelize.

Storage Directions

Refrigeration: Store leftover roasted cabbage in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Freezing: Freeze roasted cabbage in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw it overnight in the refrigerator.
Reheating: Warm the cabbage in the microwave on low power, or in a 300°F oven for 5–10 minutes, until hot.
