Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for roasting the cabbage wedges evenly.
Prepare the Miso Butter: Soften 2 tablespoons of butter and mix it thoroughly with 1 tablespoon of miso paste until you achieve a smooth and uniform miso butter mixture.
Apply the Miso Butter: Brush the miso butter generously over all sides of the cabbage wedges, making sure to cover the base and sides well to infuse flavor throughout.
Roast the Cabbage: Place the coated cabbage wedges on a baking sheet and roast them in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until tender and nicely caramelized on the edges.
Toast the Breadcrumb Topping: While the cabbage roasts, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter in a pan over medium heat. Add the panko breadcrumbs and garlic powder, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Toast the mixture until golden brown, then immediately remove from heat.
Assemble and Garnish: Once roasted, remove the cabbage wedges from the oven, sprinkle the toasted breadcrumb mixture evenly over the wedges, and garnish with chopped parsley if desired for a fresh, colorful finish.
Serve: Serve the miso butter roasted cabbage wedges warm as a delicious vegetarian main or a flavorful side dish alongside your favorite meal.

Notes

You can substitute panko breadcrumbs with regular breadcrumbs if needed, but panko gives a lighter crunch.
Adjust miso paste quantity to taste, especially if using a particularly salty or strong variety.
For a vegan version, substitute butter with vegan margarine or plant-based butter alternatives.
Sweetheart cabbage (hispi) is recommended for its delicate texture, but other cabbage types can be used.
Garnishing with parsley is optional but adds freshness and color contrast.
