Description
Miso Butter Roasted Cabbage Wedges are a beautifully simple yet deeply flavorful dish that showcases the versatility of cabbage. The combination of miso, butter, and roasted cabbage creates an irresistible umami-rich profile, making each wedge tender with a slightly crispy edge. The miso adds a savory depth, while the butter contributes a creamy richness that ties it all together. The roasted cabbage itself develops a sweet, caramelized flavor, which contrasts wonderfully with the savory miso butter.
