Organic sourcing

Cabbage is generally low in pesticide residue according to the Clean Fifteen. Opt for organic garlic and parsley as they often have higher pesticide residues.

Ingredients

• 1 head green cabbage
• 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. Remove any wilted outer leaves from the cabbage and cut it into 8 equally-sized wedges, keeping the core intact to hold the wedges together.
3. Place the cabbage wedges on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. Drizzle the olive oil over the wedges and season with sea salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
5. Sprinkle the minced garlic evenly over the wedges.
6. Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, turning once halfway, until the edges are browned and the insides are tender.
7. Remove the cabbage from the oven and drizzle with fresh lemon juice.
8. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

• You can substitute smoked paprika with regular paprika for a milder flavor.
• The dish pairs well with roasted meats or grilled fish.
• Try adding chili flakes for a spicier kick.
