- 1 medium head of green cabbage, cut into wedges
- 3 tablespoons gochujang (Korean red chili paste)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
- 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the gochujang, olive oil, honey (or maple syrup), rice vinegar, minced garlic, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper.
- Place cabbage wedges on the baking sheet and brush the gochujang mixture generously over each wedge, ensuring it gets into the crevices.
- Arrange the wedges cut-side down and roast for 25 to 30 minutes until the edges are crispy and charred and the cabbage is tender.
- Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, and garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.
Notes
- For a vegan version, ensure you use maple syrup instead of honey.
- Try to keep the core of the cabbage intact when cutting into wedges so they don't fall apart during roasting.
- Adjust the gochujang amount if you prefer a milder heat level.
