Ingredients
green cabbage
1 large head
Olive oil
2 tablespoon
Lemon juice
2-3 tablespoons fresh squeezed
generous amount of sea salt and fresh ground black pepper
lemon slices for serving with the cabbage (optional)

This is a quick and easy way to prepare cabbage as a side dish, and it makes a great change from boiling, steaming, or frying it.

Cabbage quarters are simply brushed with oil, seasoned, and lightly sprinkled with lemon juice, then put in the oven and roasted for half an hour. Simple and very, very tasty – especially when served with corned beef or other meat dish.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 450F/210 C fan/gas mark 8. Spray a roasting pan with non-stick spray or olive oil.

Cut the head of cabbage into 8 same-size wedges, cutting through the core and stem end.

Leave a strip of core on the cabbage wedge if you prefer, to hold the pieces together – this makes it easier to turn them over when cooking. Arrange wedges in a single layer on the roasting pan.

Whisk together the olive oil and lemon juice, then use a pastry brush to brush the top sides of each cabbage wedge with the mixture and season generously with salt and fresh ground black pepper.

Turn cabbage wedges carefully, then brush the second side with the olive oil/lemon juice mixture and season with salt and pepper.

Roast cabbage for about 15 minutes, or until the side touching the pan is nicely browned.

Then remove pan from oven and turn each wedge carefully. Put back into oven and roast 10-15 minutes more, until the cabbage is nicely browned and cooked through.

Serve hot, with additional lemon slices to squeeze lemon juice on at the table if desired.
