Charred Cabbage Wedges with Lemon-Dill Yogurt

Green cabbage turns sweet, tender, and crisp at the edges when roasted in thick wedges at high heat. A cool lemony yogurt sauce with fresh dill finishes it off. An easy, budget-friendly side that pairs well with steak, chicken, or pork.

35 mins 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 head of Cabbage (Green), medium, about 2 lb
  • 3 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • ¾ teaspoon Kosher Salt, divided
  • ¼ teaspoon Black Pepper
  • ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • ½ cup Yogurt (Greek), plain
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon (Juice), fresh
  • ½ teaspoon Lemon (Zest)
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Dill, chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
  • 1 tablespoon Water

Directions

  1. 1. Heat the oven to 450°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
  2. 2. Trim the cabbage stem end, leaving the core intact, and cut the head into 8 wedges through the core so they hold together.
  3. 3. Lay the wedges on the sheet, brush both cut sides with olive oil, and sprinkle with most of the salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  4. 4. Roast 25 to 30 minutes, flipping once halfway, until the edges are deep golden brown and the centers are tender when pierced with a knife.
  5. 5. Meanwhile, stir together yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, dill, water, and the remaining salt.
  6. 6. Arrange the wedges on a platter and drizzle with the yogurt sauce, or serve it on the side.
