I’ve been a fan of cabbage for a long time, but I think the beginnings of my love affair with cabbage may have been triggered by the bacon and cabbage salad my mom used to make. I was cleaning my plate when we had that for dinner, and not just because of the bacon either! As an adult, I continued to love raw and cooked cabbage, not only for the flavor but also because it’s an inexpensive, nutritious, and diet-friendly ingredient.

What ingredients do you need for this recipe?

Can you bake cabbage in larger pieces?

You can certainly chop your cabbage into larger wedges if you prefer to make it easier to work with. I like the edges of the cabbage that turn brown, so I chop more pieces to get more of those edges.

What is Sriracha?

Sriracha It’s a spicy Asian chili sauce that tastes delicious in so many ways! If you’re new to trying this spicy condiment to see how much you want to use, but despite Sriracha’s reputation for being spicy, Sriracha is milder than many hot pepper sauces.

How to make Spicy grilled cabbage:

(Scroll down for the full recipe with nutritional information.)

Preheat the oven to 450°F/230°C. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray or oil.
Cut the cabbage into four pieces of the same size and remove some of the outer leaves.
I used to trim the core, but thanks to a reader named Fred who kept the core connected and cut it short after he cooked the cabbage. He reports that this made it a lot easier, so I’m switching to Fred’s method!
Carefully cut each piece in half to make 8 wedges of the same size, keeping the core attached.
Place each piece of cabbage on the baking tray.
Whisk together the oil, lemon juice, sriracha sauce, and vegetable sal or salt. Then brush the mixture over the cabbage with a pastry brush.
Carefully flip each piece of cabbage and rub the other side, reserving some liquid to clean up when flipping the cabbage.
Roast in the center of the oven for 15-17 minutes, or until the edges of the cabbage begin to turn brown.
Use a large stir-fryer to carefully flip the hot cabbage pieces, then brush them again with the remaining lemon oil and sriracha mixture.
Roast for another 15-17 minutes, or until the second side begins to turn brown.
Remove from the oven and place on a serving platter, and sprinkle with sesame seeds if using. Serve hot.
