Something magical happens when you roast red cabbage in the oven. It brings out a mild sweetness in the cabbage. In this easy roasted red cabbage dish I pair it with mint, roasted hazel nuts and some chili flakes.
- 1 large red cabbage, sliced
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- 10 fresh mint leaves or parsley
- chili flakes to taste
- 1 handfull roasted hazel nuts, or walnuts, chopped
-
Start by preheating your oven to 175C (350F)
Line a large baking tray with parchment paper.
-
Rinse the cabbage and remove any damaged outer leaves. Cut 4 slices of the center part that are about 2cm thick, leaving the stalk in so they hold together. Save the sides for another recipe.
-
Place the cabbage slices on the baking tray and brush with olive oil on both sides and salt and pepper to taste.
Bake in the oven for 20-30 minutes depending on the size of your cabbage. Turn the cabbage halfway through cooking. You know they are cooked when a sharp knife easily pierces the stalk.
-
Let them cool slightly and then move to a serving tray and sprinkle with the roasted hazel nuts, mint and chili flakes.
Serve warm and Enjoy!
