This roasted cabbage recipe combines crispy edges, spicy-sweet hot honey, and crunchy peanuts for a bold and exciting dish that’s perfect for weeknights or dinner parties.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium head of cabbage, roughly chopped or sliced into wedges
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon chili flakes (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 cup roasted and salted peanuts, roughly chopped
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425Β°F (220Β°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Remove any damaged outer leaves from the cabbage and chop into wedges or large chunks. Toss in a mixing bowl with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  3. Spread the cabbage evenly on the baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges are golden brown and crispy.
  4. In a small saucepan, combine honey and chili flakes. Heat gently for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  5. Toast the peanuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes if they are not already roasted.
  6. Drizzle the hot honey over the roasted cabbage and sprinkle with chopped peanuts. Add a squeeze of lemon juice for brightness.
  7. Serve immediately while warm and crispy.

Notes

[‘Don’t overcrowd the pan to ensure even roasting.’, ‘Keep the flame low when heating the honey to avoid scorching.’, ‘Adjust the chili flakes to customize the spice level.’, ‘Let the cabbage roast longer for extra crispy edges, but watch closely to prevent burning.’, ‘Lemon juice balances the flavors, so don’t skip it.’]
