This is one of my favorite cabbage recipes : Oven Roasted Cabbage with Tahini Sauce. This oven roasted cabbage is an easy recipe that is ready in no time! It makes a very nice side dish or you can serve it as a main dish for a light dinner.
Cabbages are winter vegetables par excellence ! There are many variations how to prepare cabbages but one of my favorite ways is definitively roasted in the oven. It give the cabbages a sweet and nutty touch with additional roasted flavors.

- Spices: I used the following spices to season by cabbage: sweet paprika, cumin, Espelette pepper (you can use red pepper flakes) salt and black pepper. You can be creative with the spices and add you favorite spice.
- Garlic: I like to add a garlic note to my roasted vegetables and it wokrs great with cabbage as well. I used garlic flakes but you can use a fresh garlic clove instead.
- Tahini: Tahini is a sesame paste typical from the Middle East cuisine. It goes very well with roasted vegetables.
- Lemon: I like to balance the tahini dressing with a little bit of lemon juice to add some freshness to it.
