Golden-seared cabbage wedges take center stage here, caramelized on both cut sides until deeply browned before they're nestled into a simmering pan of garlic, turmeric, and ginger. A splash of apple cider vinegar and a fragrant tangle of fresh thyme build a bright, savory braising liquid that reduces down to a glossy glaze as everything finishes in the oven. The cabbage turns fork-tender all the way through, soaking up all that warm, spiced flavor while the edges stay slightly crisp for contrast. A scatter of fresh parsley at the end adds color and a clean, herby lift right before serving. It's a cozy, vegetable-forward side that works beautifully for a plant-based table, and the whole thing comes together in one pan with minimal fuss. Serve it straight from the skillet for maximum drama and easy cleanup.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the cabbage through the core into 6 wedges, keeping the core intact so the leaves hold together.
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet or braising pan over medium-high heat until shimmering. Season the cabbage wedges on the cut sides with the salt, then place them cut-side down in the pan in a single layer. Sear undisturbed for 3 to 4 minutes until the cut face is deep golden brown, then flip to the second cut side and sear for another 3 minutes until golden. Transfer the seared wedges to a plate.
