Miso Roasted Cabbage: A Flavorful Fusion

Miso roasted cabbage is a fantastic way to elevate the humble cabbage to a new level of deliciousness. By roasting cabbage wedges with a savory miso glaze, you create a dish that’s both simple and sophisticated. The miso paste, which is fermented from soybeans, adds a deep, umami flavor that complements the caramelized edges of the cabbage. The result is a beautifully roasted vegetable with a perfect balance of sweet, salty, and earthy notes.

Why You’ll Love It:

  • Umami Boost: The miso glaze infuses the cabbage with a rich, savory depth that transforms it into a gourmet side dish.
  • Caramelization: Roasting brings out the natural sugars in the cabbage, creating crispy, caramelized edges that contrast beautifully with the tender interior.
  • Simplicity: With just a few ingredients and easy preparation, this dish fits perfectly into any meal plan, from weeknight dinners to festive gatherings.

How to Make Miso Glaze:

  1. Blend miso paste with a bit of honey or maple syrup, soy sauce, and a splash of vinegar to create a balanced, tangy-sweet glaze.
  2. Roast: Brush the cabbage with the miso glaze and roast until tender and caramelized.

THE INGREDIENTS

  1. Miso paste and three tablespoons of olive oil
  2. In accordance with the size of the cabbage, cut it into four wedges.
  3. Half a cup of Panko breadcrumbs
  4. One-fourth of a teaspoon of garlic powder
  5. Optional: one tablespoon of minced parsley

THE INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (400 degrees Fahrenheit). Divide the cabbage into four equal halves.
  2. Apply the miso paste that has been mixed with two tablespoons of oil to the cabbage sections and brush it all over, including the base. After placing the cabbage wedges on a baking sheet, roast them in an oven that has been warmed for thirty to thirty-five minutes, or until the outside is browned and the cabbage is still somewhat crunchy.
  3. In the meanwhile, prepare the breadcrumbs while the cabbage is roasting. Toast the breadcrumbs and garlic powder in a skillet that has been heated with oil. While toasting, be sure to stir them often to prevent them from burning. Once they have reached a golden colour, remove them from the pan immediately.
  4. A last step before serving is to sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the cabbage. If you make use of chopped parsley, you may also add it.

Enjoy your miso roasted cabbage as a side dish, or even on its own, and savor the delightful combination of flavors and textures!
