Amazing Cabbage

Roasted Cabbage with Lime and Siracha Glaze

Ingredients: 

1 medium-sized head  cabbage

1 Tbsp olive oil

1 Tbsp water

2 T fresh squeezed lime juice 

2 tsp. Sriracha Sauce 

1 tsp agave-optional

1/2 tsp. salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper

2 tsp. sesame seeds 

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 450F. Spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray or oil.  

Cut the cabbage into four same-size pieces and remove any outer leaves that are discolored or wilted.   

Then cut each piece in half to make 8 same-size wedges.  

Place each piece of cabbage on the baking sheet, arranging so the wedges are not touching each other.  Whisk together the oil, lime juice, water, agave Sriracha Sauce, and salt to make the glazing mixture; then brush the mixture over the cabbage with a pastry brush. sprinkle with sesame seeds and black pepper

Turn each piece of cabbage over and brush the other side, reserving some liquid to brush again when you turn the cabbage after it's roasted on one side.

Roast in the center of the oven for 20 minutes, or until the edges of the cabbage are starting to get brown.  Turn the hot cabbage pieces, then brush again with the remaining lime-Sriracha-oil mixture.

Roast for 20 minutes more, or until the second side is starting to brown.  Serve hot.
