# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The edges get impossibly crispy and sweet while the center stays tender
  • It takes five minutes of active work and makes your whole kitchen smell amazing
  • Even cabbage skeptics ask for seconds after trying these caramelized slices
02 -
  • The core is what holds the steaks together so do not cut it out
  • Crowding the pan will steam instead of roast so use two sheets if needed

03 -
  • Let the oven fully preheat before putting the cabbage in
  • Use a pastry brush for even oil coverage
  • Do not move them around too much while roasting
