Cabbage is having a moment—and for good reason.
It's affordable, incredibly versatile, and transforms into something surprisingly delicious when roasted. The edges become crispy and caramelized while the center stays tender and flavorful.
The secret?
A bold seasoning that brings sweet heat to every bite.
Perry Spices Sassy Sriracha Maple combines the rich sweetness of maple with the kick of sriracha, creating a crave-worthy flavor that's perfect for roasted vegetables.
Whether you're serving dinner for the family, meal prepping for the week, or trying to eat more vegetables, these cabbage steaks deserve a spot on your table.
Why Roast Cabbage?
Many people think cabbage is only for coleslaw.
Roasting completely changes its flavor.
As it cooks, the natural sugars caramelize, creating crispy edges and a rich, slightly sweet taste that pairs perfectly with bold seasonings.
Even people who normally skip vegetables are often surprised by how satisfying roasted cabbage can be.

Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 425°F.
