Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 1 pound green cabbage
Dressing & Seasonings
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon whole-grain Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Garnish
- Grated Parmesan cheese (for garnish)
Instructions
- Chop Cabbage: Using a sharp knife, cut the green cabbage into 4 wedges. Any extra cabbage can be saved and used for another recipe.
- Prepare Dressing: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, whole-grain Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Dress Cabbage Wedges: Brush the prepared dressing mixture evenly on both sides of each cabbage wedge, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated to impart maximum flavor.
- Air-Fry Cabbage: Arrange the cabbage wedges in a single layer inside the air fryer basket to allow for even cooking. Air-fry them for 8 to 12 minutes, depending on your air fryer model, until the edges turn crisp and golden, and the core is tender.
- Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, transfer the cabbage wedges to a serving dish and sprinkle generously with grated Parmesan cheese to finish. Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Cooking times may vary depending on the make and model of your air fryer; check doneness early to avoid burning.
- For a vegan version, omit the Parmesan cheese or substitute with a vegan cheese alternative.
- Leftover cabbage can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated gently.
- Feel free to experiment with additional spices like cayenne pepper for heat or lemon zest for freshness.
