Gochujang Roasted Cabbage: Spicy & Easy Recipe

A vibrant and flavorful side dish featuring tender cabbage wedges glazed in a spicy, sweet, and savory Korean-inspired gochujang marinade, roasted until perfectly caramelized and crispy at the edges.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 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)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the gochujang, olive oil, honey (or maple syrup), rice vinegar, minced garlic, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Place cabbage wedges on the baking sheet and brush the gochujang mixture generously over each wedge, ensuring it gets into the crevices.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
