  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes Provides a kick.
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard Creamy with a subtle tang.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425℉.
  2. Slice the cabbage into 8 wedges, keeping the core intact.
  3. Melt butter and olive oil in a 12" skillet over medium heat. Once melted, remove from heat.
  4. Add the cabbage wedges snugly in the skillet.
  5. Season with kosher salt and pepper.
  6. Gently slide the wedges to coat them in the butter and oil, seasoning again.
  7. Add the onion wedges, pushing them into the crevices of the cabbage.
Cooking
  1. Roast for 60 minutes, flipping the cabbage halfway through.
  2. Prepare the hot honey by combining honey and crushed red pepper flakes in a small pan. Heat until simmering, then remove from heat.
  3. Stir in mustard and apple cider vinegar until combined.
  4. Drizzle the hot honey over each cabbage wedge before serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, add garlic during roasting, or top with crumbled feta or parmesan. Adjust crushed red pepper for milder heat.
