Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 medium head Green Cabbage (16 oz / 454 g), cut into quarters
  • 8 slices thick-cut Bacon (8 oz / 227 g)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan Cheese (0.9 oz / 25 g)
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder (0.1 oz / 3 g)
  • 1 tbsp chopped Fresh Parsley (0.1 oz / 4 g), for garnish
  • Use thick-cut bacon. It's the best choice to ensure it gets crispy at the same rate the cabbage becomes tender. Thin bacon may burn.
  • For extra-crispy bacon, switch the oven to broil for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking. Watch it like a hawk to prevent burning!
  • This recipe works great in an air fryer! Cook at 370°F (188°C) for 12-15 minutes for a quick and easy version.

Method
 

  1. Directions
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  3. Cut the cabbage into 4 equal wedges, leaving the core intact to hold the leaves together.
  4. Sprinkle the cabbage wedges evenly on all sides with garlic powder and grated Parmesan cheese.
  5. Wrap 2 slices of bacon around each cabbage wedge, tucking the ends under to secure them.
  6. Arrange the wrapped wedges on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one to ensure they roast, not steam.
  7. Roast for 35-40 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender and the bacon is perfectly crispy.
  8. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately.
  9. Keep the core intact when cutting the cabbage into wedges. It's the glue that holds everything together during roasting.
  10. Hold the salt! Bacon and Parmesan are already salty, so taste the finished dish before adding any extra.
