Miso Butter Roasted Cabbage Wedges Ingredients:

  • 1 large head of green cabbage
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons white or yellow miso paste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
  • Chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley or cilantro, optional, for garnish)

How to Make Miso Butter Roasted Cabbage Wedges Recipe :

1
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2

Prepare the Cabbage: Remove any tough outer leaves from the cabbage. Cut the cabbage into 8 wedges, keeping the core intact to hold the wedges together.

3

Make the Miso Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, miso paste, olive oil, minced garlic, soy sauce, and honey or maple syrup. Mix until well combined.

4

Season the Cabbage: Brush each cabbage wedge with the miso butter mixture, ensuring they are well coated. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

5

Roast the Cabbage: Arrange the cabbage wedges on a baking sheet, cut side down. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender and the edges are caramelized and slightly crispy.

6

Garnish and Serve: Once roasted, remove the cabbage from the oven. If desired, sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped fresh herbs for added flavor and visual appeal.

7

Serve hot as a side dish or a flavorful vegetarian main.

Recipe Notes:

Adjust Sweetness and Saltiness: Taste the miso butter mixture and adjust the honey and soy sauce to suit your preference for sweetness and saltiness.

Crispier Edges: For extra crispy edges, flip the cabbage wedges halfway through roasting or broil for the last 2-3 minutes.

This dish is perfect as a side for grilled meats, roasted poultry, or as a standout vegetarian option. The combination of miso and butter creates a rich, savory flavor profile that pairs beautifully with the naturally sweet and slightly nutty taste of roasted cabbage.
