Print Recipe

Transform humble cabbage into a smoky, caramelized dish paired with creamy tahini sauce for a hearty, flavorful, and plant-based meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium-sized green or red cabbage, sliced into thick wedges or rounds
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2–4 tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup
  • Optional toppings: pomegranate seeds, chopped parsley, toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Remove any wilted outer leaves from the cabbage. Slice the cabbage into thick rounds, about 1-inch thick, keeping the core intact.
  3. Arrange the cabbage slices on the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, ground cumin, and garlic powder. Flip the slices and repeat on the other side.
  4. Roast the cabbage in the oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges are crisp and caramelized, and the centers are tender.
  5. In a mixing bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, water, and maple syrup until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more water if needed, and taste to balance flavors.
  6. Drizzle the tahini sauce over the charred cabbage steaks and garnish with optional toppings like pomegranate seeds, parsley, or sesame seeds.

Notes

[‘Don’t skip the olive oil as it helps the cabbage caramelize and prevents it from drying out.’, ‘Keep the slices thick to avoid burning before the center cooks through.’, ‘Arrange the cabbage slices in a single layer with space between them for even roasting.’, ‘Feel free to add more spices or herbs like smoked paprika, chili flakes, or za’atar.’, ‘The tahini drizzle can be prepared a day in advance and stored in the fridge.’]
