# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The way roasting concentrates the natural sweetness while those curry spices create this incredible caramelized crust
  • How something so inexpensive and basic transforms into a side dish that steals the spotlight
  • The fact that it's essentially hands-off cooking while you focus on the main dish
02 -
  • Crowding the baking sheet is the fastest way to steam instead of roast, so use two sheets if needed
  • The cabbage should feel slightly soft when raw but will transform completely in that high heat
  • Don't skip the flip halfway through, or you'll miss out on those crispy edges on both sides
03 -
  • Use your hands to gently massage the spice mixture into the layers for even better coverage
  • Let the roasted cabbage rest for 5 minutes before serving to help those flavors settle
