For the Roasted Cabbage:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 green cabbage 2 ½ to 3 pounds
- 2 small red onions cut into 8 wedges each
- Kosher salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
For the Hot Honey:
- ¼ cup honey
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard preferably whole grain
- 1 ½ teaspoons apple cider vinegar
Prepare the Cabbage: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a sheet of parchment paper on a baking tray or give it a light coat of oil. Remove any damaged outer leaves from the cabbage and cut it into 1-inch thick wedges, keeping the core intact to hold the wedges together. Arrange the cabbage and red onion wedges on the prepared baking sheet.
Season and Roast: Melt the butter and combine it with the olive oil in a small bowl. Brush the mixture generously over the cabbage and onions, ensuring even coverage. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges of the cabbage are golden brown and crispy.
Make the Hot Honey: While the vegetables are roasting, combine the honey, red pepper flakes, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar in a small saucepan. Heat over low heat, stirring until fully combined and warmed through. Remove from heat and set aside.
Serve: Once the cabbage and onions are done, transfer them to a serving platter. Drizzle the hot honey sauce over the roasted vegetables just before serving. Serve warm as a side dish or pair it with your favorite main course.
