Ingredients

  • 1 small head green cabbage (2 to 2½ pounds)
  • ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons dry ranch dressing mix
  • ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
  • ½ cup ranch dressing
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh dill

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F with rack in lower third position. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil. Remove wilted or damaged outer leaves from cabbage. Cut the cabbage into 8 (2-inch) wedges, leaving the root end intact to help wedges stay together.
  2. Whisk ¼ cup oil, 2 tablespoons ranch dressing mix and ¼ teaspoon pepper together in a small bowl. Brush onto both sides of the cabbage wedges, working it into the leaves. Arrange the cabbage wedges around the edges of the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Roast until tender and browned, 35 to 40 minutes, flipping once halfway through. Drizzle the cabbage wedges evenly with ½ cup ranch dressing; sprinkle with ¼ cup dill.
