# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The miso butter creates a sweet, salty glaze that turns ordinary cabbage into something you'll crave.
  • It's incredibly easy but looks and tastes like you put in serious effort.
  • The edges get crispy and golden while the inside stays tender and buttery.
  • It works as a side dish or a light vegetarian main that feels satisfying and complete.
02 -
  • Don't skip the flip halfway through, it's the difference between evenly roasted wedges and ones that are burnt on one side and pale on the other.
  • If your miso butter is too thick to brush, warm it gently in the microwave for a few seconds until it's spreadable but not melted.
  • Leaving the core intact is crucial, without it the wedges fall apart into loose leaves that won't roast properly.
03 -
  • Brush a little extra miso butter on the wedges right after they come out of the oven for an extra glossy finish and deeper flavor.
  • If your oven runs cool, increase the temperature to 230°C to get the crispy, caramelized edges you're looking for.
  • Toast your sesame seeds in a dry pan for a minute before sprinkling them on, it brings out their nutty flavor even more.
