Red cabbage is one of those underrated fridge staples that lasts for weeks and works in so many meals. In this recipe, it’s roasted until tender and caramelised, then coated in a sweet, sticky glaze with a little heat and plenty of savoury flavour.
The result? Crispy edges, rich flavour and a delicious way to turn an everyday vegetable into something worth talking about.
Perfect as a side dish or centrepiece for your next dinner.

Ingredients

Method
- Preheat oven to 230°C.
- In a small bowl, mix together hoisin, fish sauce, honey and sriracha.
- Cut cabbage into 8 wedges (cutting thru stem to keep them intact) and arrange on a parchment lined sheet pan and brush each wedge liberally with hoisin mixture. Roast for 40-45 minutes or until cabbage is tender and slightly charred.
- Arrange wedges on a platter and drizzle chili crisp atop, with more in a bowl for serving. Finish with cilantro and serve immediately.
Why We Love Simple Seasonal Cooking
When produce is in season, it often tastes better, costs less, and doesn’t need much done to it.
Recipes like this are a great reminder that good food can be simple. A handful of ingredients, plenty of flavour, and a meal that’s easy enough for a weeknight but special enough to share.
At Fruity LIFE, we’re big believers in real food, everyday. Fresh produce, simple recipes, and meals that fit into real life.
