Garlic Loves Roasted Cabbage

Ingredients

• 1 head cabbage, or more to taste, quartered and cored
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 8 cloves garlic, crushed, or to taste
• 0.25 cup olive oil, or to taste
• 0.25 cup water

Steps

1. Center a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2. Slice each cabbage quarter into 1/2-inch or 1/4-inch wedges. Spread 1/2 of the cabbage in a large roasting pan. Season lightly with salt and black pepper; scatter 4 garlic cloves on top. Drizzle 2 tablespoons olive oil over cabbage; do not mix. Layer remaining cabbage on top, season with salt and black pepper, scatter with remaining garlic cloves, and drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil.
3. Roast cabbage in the preheated oven until slightly softened, about 20 minutes. Add water if cabbage looks dry. Continue roasting until wilted, about 20 minutes more.
