Ingredients

1small headgreen cabbage(2 pounds)

5 1/2tablespoonsextra-virgin olive oil

2tablespoonsred-wine vinegar

2tablespoonslemon juice

1/2teaspoonDijon mustard

1/4teaspoongratedgarlic

1/2teaspoonground pepper

1/2teaspoonsalt, divided

1tablespoonfresh thymeleaves

Directions

Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil; place in oven. Preheat the oven to 425°F.

Meanwhile, remove any wilted or damaged leaves from cabbage. Cut the head into 8 (1 1/4-inch-thick) wedges, leaving the root end intact to help wedges stay together.

Whisk oil, vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, garlic, pepper and 1/4 teaspoon salt together in a medium bowl. Reserve 2 tablespoons dressing in a small bowl.

Divide the cabbage wedges between 2 (gallon-size) zip-top plastic bags; pour the remaining dressing from the medium bowl into the bags; rub to coat the cabbage with dressing. Let stand for 15 minutes, tossing the bags occasionally.

Remove the baking sheet from the oven; arrange the marinated cabbage wedges on the pan in a single layer. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Roast, flipping once, until tender and browned, 35 to 40 minutes.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)

  • Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
