Easy Roasted Cabbage with Dijon Onion Sauce

If you think cabbage is boring, this recipe may completely change your mind.

These roasted cabbage wedges turn beautifully golden and tender in the oven, developing rich flavour and some crispy edges that pair perfectly with a warm Dijon onion sauce poured over top. It’s simple, comforting, surprisingly satisfying, and made with everyday ingredients you may already have at home.

This dish works wonderfully as an easy side for roasted meats, grilled chicken, or even on its own for a lighter dinner option. The optional cream adds a little extra richness to the sauce, while fresh chives bring brightness and colour right before serving.

One of the best things about this recipe is how uncomplicated it is. A hot oven does most of the work while the sauce comes together quickly on the stovetop, making this a great weeknight recipe when you want something warm and flavourful without spending hours in the kitchen.

For the best texture and flavour, this dish is best served immediately while the cabbage edges are still crisp from roasting and the sauce is warm and silky.
