A flavorful and spicy baked cabbage dish featuring a tangy lime and sriracha sauce. Perfect as a side or a unique appetizer, this recipe combines heat, sweetness, and the natural crispness of roasted cabbage for a deliciously healthy treat.

Ingredients

Cabbage

  • 1/2 green cabbage, outer leaves removed

Sauce

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil (or similar)
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 3 teaspoons sriracha hot sauce
  • 3 teaspoons chilli flakes, more to taste
  • 3 teaspoons honey
  • Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 450°F (232°C) to ensure it's hot enough for roasting the cabbage to a nice golden brown.
  2. Prepare Cabbage: Remove the core from the half cabbage and cut it into four similar-sized chunks for even cooking.
  3. Make Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lime juice, sriracha hot sauce, chili flakes, honey, kosher salt, and black pepper, stirring well to blend all the flavors.
  4. Coat Cabbage: Liberally paint both sides of each cabbage chunk with the prepared sauce, making sure to get into the creases for maximum flavor penetration.
  5. Bake First Round: Place the coated cabbage pieces on a baking sheet and bake them in the preheated oven for 10 minutes to start roasting.
  6. Repaint and Continue Baking: Remove the cabbage from the oven and reapply the sauce on both sides of each piece before returning them to the oven for another 10 minutes, or until the cabbage begins to brown on the edges.
  7. Serve: Serve the cabbage immediately either as whole chunks or chop into smaller pieces, optionally drizzling with sweet soy sauce (Ketjap Manis) and adjusting salt and pepper to taste for extra depth.

Notes

  • Adjust chili flakes to control spiciness according to your preference.
  • Using a high oven temperature helps caramelize the cabbage for enhanced flavor.
  • Ketjap Manis adds a sweet soy finish that pairs beautifully with the spicy lime sauce.
  • This dish can be served as a stand-alone side or incorporated into salads or bowls.
  • For a vegan version, ensure the honey is substituted with maple syrup or agave nectar.
