Prep/Cook Time: 30 Minutes, Servings: 4
Ingredients
Cabbage
- ½ medium green cabbage (1-1½ pounds), outer leaves removed
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Vinaigrette
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons white balsamic or white-wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons minced fresh chives
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Directions
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
- To prepare cabbage: Cut cabbage half into four wedges and cut out any thick core, leaving the wedges as intact as possible. Drizzle the cut sides with 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Place the wedges flat-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast the cabbage for 12 minutes. Carefully flip over (it’s OK if it falls apart a little) and roast until browned on both sides, about 8 minutes more.
- To prepare vinaigrette: Combine mustard, vinegar, lemon juice, pepper and ⅛ teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Add chives and oil; stir until well combined.
- Transfer the cabbage to a serving plate (or plates) and drizzle with the vinaigrette while still hot. Serve hot or room temperature.
