A delightful twist on roasted Napa cabbage, infused with a subtle garlic aroma and enhanced with a touch of lemon zest.
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and helps achieve a crispy texture.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over low heat and add the garlic cloves. Cook gently for about 10 minutes to infuse the oil with garlic flavor.
Keep the heat low to avoid burning the garlic and maintain a smooth flavor.
Remove the garlic cloves from the oil and discard them. Cut the Napa cabbage into wedges and toss them with the infused oil, salt, pepper, and lemon zest.
Ensure the cabbage is evenly coated with the oil and seasonings for uniform flavor.
Arrange the cabbage wedges on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Flip the cabbage halfway through roasting for even browning.
Serve the roasted cabbage hot, garnished with a sprinkle of additional lemon zest if desired.
Serve immediately to enjoy the crisp texture and fresh flavors.
