Cabbage gets a serious glow-up here — seared until deeply golden, then slow-braised in a fragrant mix of bone broth, coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, fresh ginger, and turmeric until the wedges turn silky and tender all the way through. The two-step cook method (stovetop sear followed by a covered oven braise) builds layers of flavor that taste far more involved than the ingredient list suggests. Coconut oil stands in as the cooking fat, keeping everything completely free of eggs and dairy while still delivering rich, satisfying results. The braising liquid reduces into a glossy, savory-tangy glaze that you'll want to spoon generously over every wedge before serving. A final few minutes uncovered in the oven concentrates that glaze just enough to make the whole dish feel restaurant-worthy. Fresh parsley scattered on top adds a pop of color and brightness that ties it all together. This is the kind of humble vegetable dish that converts skeptics at the dinner table.

Ingredients

4 servings

1 medium head green cabbage (about 2 lb), cut through the core into 8 wedges
2 tbsp coconut oil
1 tbsp fresh ginger, finely grated
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
½ tsp ground turmeric
3 tbsp coconut aminos
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 cup bone broth
½ tsp fine sea salt, plus more to taste

For serving

2 tbsp fresh parsley, roughly chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Pat the cabbage wedges dry with paper towels.
2
Heat the coconut oil in a large oven-safe skillet or braising pan over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the cabbage wedges cut-side down in a single layer and sear, undisturbed, for 3–4 minutes until the cut face is deep golden brown. Flip to the second cut side and sear for another 3 minutes until similarly browned. Transfer the seared wedges to a plate.
