Ingredients
1 medium green cabbage
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon garam masala
1/2 teaspoon red chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons fresh chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Remove outer cabbage leaves and slice cabbage into thick strips or bite-sized chunks.
3. In a large bowl, toss cabbage with olive oil, turmeric, cumin, coriander, garam masala, chili powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
4. Spread cabbage in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
5. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until edges are golden and slightly crisp.
6. Remove from oven and drizzle with fresh lemon juice.
7. Sprinkle chopped cilantro over the top before serving.
Notes
Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet. Spreading the cabbage in a single layer ensures proper caramelization and crispy edges instead of steaming.
