Notes

SUBSTITUTIONS:

Savoy or red cabbage can also be used.
Use Asiago or Romano cheese in place of Parmesan.

TIPS:

The cabbage can also be cut into “steaks” for a different look.
Keep the core in each wedge to help hold each wedge together. If it's too tough, you can always remove it later.
If your cabbage is large, cut it into six wedges.

MAKE AHEAD:

Prep to the point of baking. Let it sit at room temperature while the oven preheats, then bake it as directed.
