- 1 tsp Old Bay Seasoning
- 1 tsp Paprika (sweet or smoked)

Instructions
Prepare Cabbage
Place the cabbage on a cutting board, cut out the tough core, then separate the leaves or cut the head into quarters.
Time: PT5M
Season Cabbage
In a large mixing bowl, drizzle the olive oil over the cabbage pieces, then sprinkle onion powder, garlic powder, Old Bay, paprika, lemon pepper, dried parsley, and brown sugar. Add the minced garlic, half a stick of butter (cut into small pieces), and a squeeze of lemon juice. Toss gently until everything is evenly coated.
Time: PT10M
Wrap in Foil
Lay out a large sheet of aluminum foil, place the seasoned cabbage in the center, and wrap it tightly, folding the edges securely to seal in steam.
Time: PT5M
Bake Cabbage
Preheat the oven to 390°F. Place the foil‑wrapped cabbage on the baking sheet and bake for about 2 hours, or until the cabbage is fork‑tender.
Time: PT2H
Temperature: 390°F
Prepare Sauce
While the cabbage bakes, melt the remaining 1 stick of butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the same seasonings used for the cabbage (onion powder, garlic powder, Old Bay, paprika, lemon pepper, parsley, and a pinch of brown sugar) until fragrant and well combined.
Time: PT5M
Temperature: medium heat
Serve
Remove the foil packet carefully (steam will be hot). Transfer the cabbage to a serving platter, drizzle the butter‑seasoned sauce over the top, and serve immediately.
Time: PT2M
