Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 medium head cabbage (about 2 pounds), cut into wedges
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/3 cup creamy Caesar salad dressing

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°. Line a rimmed 15x10x1-in. baking sheet with parchment paper. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Set aside.
  2. Arrange cabbage wedges on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil; sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic powder and crushed red pepper flakes.
