- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) ensuring it reaches the correct temperature for roasting.
- Prepare Cabbage: Cut the cabbage into thick wedges while keeping the core intact to help the wedges hold together during roasting.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the cabbage wedges on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spaced apart for even roasting.
- Season: Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the wedges then sprinkle paprika, chili flakes, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper on top to coat them thoroughly.
- Roast: Roast in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, until the edges become crispy and browned, and the wedges are tender inside.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve hot for best flavor and texture, optionally adding lemon juice for extra brightness.
Notes
- Add a squeeze of lemon juice before serving to enhance the flavor.
- Adjust the amount of chili flakes to modify the spiciness to your preference.
