Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 3 tbsp butter (divided)
- 1 tbsp miso paste
- 1 sweetheart (hispi) cabbage, cut into 4 wedges
Breadcrumb Topping
- ¼ cup Panko breadcrumbs
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Cabbage: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Cut the sweetheart cabbage into four wedges, keeping the core intact to hold the wedges together during roasting.
- Make Miso Butter and Roast: Soften 2 tablespoons of butter and mix it thoroughly with the miso paste. Brush this miso butter generously over all surfaces of the cabbage wedges, including the base. Place the wedges on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, until the edges are charred and caramelized while the centers remain slightly crispy.
- Prepare Garlic Breadcrumbs: While the cabbage roasts, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter in a pan over medium heat. Add the Panko breadcrumbs and sprinkle in the garlic powder. Stir continuously to toast the breadcrumbs evenly and prevent burning, until they turn golden brown. Remove from heat immediately.
- Serve: Once the cabbage wedges are roasted, remove them from the oven and sprinkle the garlic breadcrumbs over the top. Optionally, garnish with chopped parsley to add a fresh herbal note. Serve warm as a delicious side dish.
Notes
- You can substitute the sweetheart cabbage with a regular pointed cabbage if needed.
- If you want a vegan version, replace butter with plant-based butter and ensure the miso paste is vegan-friendly.
- Use light miso for a milder flavor or dark miso for more intensity.
- For extra flavor, drizzle a little soy sauce or sprinkle sesame seeds before serving.
- Keep an eye on the breadcrumbs while toasting as they can burn quickly.
