Ingredients:

• Cabbage: 1/2 medium green cabbage (about 1½ pounds)
• Oil: 1 tablespoon garlic-infused olive oil (or regular olive oil)
• Seasonings: Salt & pepper to taste

For the Sauce:

• Butter: 3 tablespoons
• Onion: 2 tablespoons, minced
• Dijon Mustard: 1 tablespoon
• Garlic: 1/2 teaspoon, minced
• Additional Seasonings: 1/8 teaspoon each of salt and pepper
• Optional: Chopped chives or parsley for garnish

Directions:

1. Preparation:
   • Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
   • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat for easy clean-up.
2. Cabbage Prep:
   • Cut the half cabbage into four equal wedges.
   • Place the wedges on the prepared baking sheet.
   • Use a pastry brush to lightly coat the cut sides of each wedge with garlic-infused olive oil, then season with salt and pepper.
   • Flip the wedges and repeat the oil and seasoning process on the other side.
3. Roasting:
   • Roast the cabbage in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes.
   • Turn the wedges over and continue roasting until they are nicely browned, about 8-10 more minutes.
4. Making the Sauce:
   • While the cabbage roasts, start on the sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the butter, minced onion, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
   • Cook over medium heat until the butter is completely melted and the onions are slightly softened.
   • Keep the sauce warm until you are ready to serve.
5. Serving:
   • Give the sauce a quick whisk before serving to reintegrate any separation.
   • Drizzle the warm sauce generously over the roasted cabbage wedges.
   • If using, sprinkle chopped chives or parsley on top for a fresh, herbal touch.
