For many, cabbage means boring cafeteria stew, but roasted, it shows a completely different face. In this recipe, the slightly bitter taste of savoy cabbage is softened by a creamy, spiced 'béchamel-style' sauce, topped with crunchy breadcrumbs for texture. A comfort food that proves vegetables can be indulgent.

Instructions

1 ✓

Cut the cabbage into large chunks, removing thick stems. Cook in boiling salted water for 5 minutes, then drain and immediately rinse with cold water.

Tip: The cold water shock stops the cooking, preventing the cabbage from turning gray (inhibits chlorophyll breakdown).
2 ✓

Chop the garlic and sauté in oil just until fragrant (30 seconds).

Tip: Don't brown it, or it becomes bitter!
3 ✓

Mix the vegan sour cream, milk, toasted garlic (with its oil), salt, pepper, and nutmeg.

Tip: Nutmeg evokes the classic béchamel flavor profile, pairing perfectly with cabbage dishes.
4 ✓

Spread the drained cabbage in a greased baking dish. Pour the sauce over it, tossing slightly to coat. Sprinkle the top with breadcrumbs.

Tip: The crumbs provide the crunchy texture everyone will love.
5 ✓

Bake in a 350°F (180°C) oven for 20-25 minutes until crumbs are golden brown and sauce is bubbly.

Tip: If you have a broiler, turn it on for the last 2 minutes for extra browning.
6 ✓

Let sit for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to thicken back up.

Tip: Serve sprinkled with fresh parsley.

Recipe FAQ

Why do I need to blanch the cabbage?
Cabbage fibers are tough. If you put it in the oven raw, the outside would burn before the inside softens. Blanching starts the softening process and preserves the vibrant green color.
