Ingredients
Cabbage Wedges
- 1 medium green cabbage
- 2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Yogurt Mustard Sauce
- 1 cup Greek Yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
- ½ lemon, juiced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Cut Cabbage: Cut the medium green cabbage into wedges, keeping the core intact to hold the wedges together during cooking.
- Prepare Seasonings: In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon paprika, ¼ teaspoon kosher salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Mix thoroughly to create the seasoning mixture.
- Brush Cabbage: Using a brush or your hands, coat each cabbage wedge evenly on both sides with the seasoning mixture to ensure full flavor coverage.
- Air Fry Cabbage: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (204°C). Place the seasoned cabbage wedges in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 10-15 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through the cooking time to achieve even crispiness and browning.
- Make Yogurt Sauce: While the cabbage cooks, combine 1 cup Greek yogurt, juice of half a lemon, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard, 1 minced garlic clove, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper in a bowl. Stir well to integrate all flavors into a smooth, tangy sauce.
- Serve: On serving plates, spoon some yogurt mustard sauce as a base. Place the crispy cabbage wedges on top, and optionally garnish with a drizzle of chili oil and fresh parsley for added flavor and presentation.
Notes
- Leaving the core intact helps the cabbage wedges hold their shape while air frying.
- Flipping the cabbage halfway ensures even cooking and crispy edges.
- Adjust paprika and garlic powder amounts to suit your taste preference.
- This recipe works well as a healthy side dish or a light snack.
- For a spicier touch, garnish with chili oil or chili flakes.
