INGREDIENTS
2 tbsp of olive oil
1/2 tsp of sea salt
1.5 tbsp of vinegar
1 tsp of paprika
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Have a couple rimmed baking sheets handy.
Place the cabbage pieces in a bowl with the oil and gently toss to combine, not worrying if the chunks of cabbage separate into individual leaves. Spread the cabbage in a single layer on the baking sheets.
Roast until the thinner leaves are crisp and the desired degree of brown at the edges, 10 to 40 minutes, depending on the thickness of the cabbage leaves. Keep an eye on any thin cabbage leaves as you may need to remove them from the sheet pan early if they start to get too crisp and brown.
Honestly? The crisper the cabbage, the better it tastes. Just be forewarned you’ll lose some of that vibrant and rich jewel-toned hue.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and, if desired, splash the vinegar over the cabbage and toss with tongs. Generously sprinkle with salt.
