Ingredients

  • 1 medium head green cabbage (approximately 2 lbs)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Remove any damaged or loose outer leaves from the cabbage and rinse under cold water.
  • Cut the cabbage into 1-inch thick wedges, ensuring the core remains intact to hold the leaves together.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  • Using a pastry brush, coat both sides of each cabbage wedge thoroughly with the oil and spice mixture.
  • Arrange the wedges in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
  • Air fry for 12 to 15 minutes, flipping each wedge halfway through the cooking time, until the edges are charred and the core is fork-tender.
  • Serve immediately as a side dish.
