# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The miso butter transforms humble cabbage into something crave-worthy and restaurant-quality
  • Its incredibly forgiving, almost impossible to mess up, yet feels sophisticated enough for dinner guests
02 -
  • The cabbage needs the high heat to get those golden edges, so do not be tempted to lower the temperature
  • Leftovers reheat surprisingly well in a skillet, getting even sweeter and more caramelized
03 -
  • Let the wedges sit for a few minutes after roasting so the flavors settle and they are easier to handle
  • If your oven runs hot, check at 25 minutes to prevent burning the edges
