A vibrant and flavorful vegan dish featuring sweet roasted red cabbage topped with a fresh, herb-packed green sauce. Perfect as a side or main, easy to make, and full of nutrients.
Ingredients
For the roasted cabbage:
- 1 kg (2.2lb) red cabbage thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp salt
For the Green sauce:
- 1 handful fresh parsley
- 1 handful fresh dill
- 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
- 2 cloves garlic
- juice of ½ lemon
- 1 tbsp tahini
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup water adjust as needed, add more if the sauce is too thick
Topping:
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
- Thinly slice the red cabbage and place it on a baking tray. Drizzle with 2 tbsp olive oil and season with salt. Toss to coat evenly. Roast in the oven for 30–35 minutes, turning halfway through, until the cabbage is golden brown and tender.
- Meanwhile, combine parsley, dill, sunflower seeds, garlic, tahini, olive oil, salt, water, and lemon juice in a blender. Blend until smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add a little more water until desired consistency is reached.
- Transfer the roasted cabbage to a serving plate. Drizzle generously with the green sauce. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top for extra crunch and flavor.
- This dish is best served warm, though it can also be enjoyed cold as part of a salad or grain bowl.
