Air Fryer Cabbage Wedges
Crispy on the edges, tender in the middle, and wildly underrated, these air fryer cabbage wedges are the kind of simple recipe that turns a humble vegetable into something you keep craving.
Ingredients
For the cabbage
- ½ cabbage
- 15 ml olive oil
For the sauce
- 100 g chopped yellow onion
- 12 g chopped fresh ginger peeled (use more or less depending on strength preference)
- 80 ml soy sauce
- 45 ml rice vinegar
- 1 zest and juice of lemon
- 10 g brown sugar
Garnish
- parsley
Instructions
- Start by making the sauce: add the onion, ginger, soy sauce, rice vinegar, lemon zest and juice, and brown sugar to a blender.
- Blend until completely smooth, glossy, and fragrant. Set aside.
- Now prepare the cabbage: using a sharp knife, cut the cabbage into 4 thick wedges, keeping the core intact so they hold their shape.
- Place the wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket and drizzle with olive oil and half of the sauce, making sure every edge is lightly coated.
- Air fry at 190°C for 15–20 minutes, until the edges are deeply golden and crisp, while the centre stays soft and tender. *
- Halfway through cooking, brush the rest of the sauce on the wedges, so it caramelises slightly and clings to every layer.
- Serve hot with some chopped parsley and extra sauce on the side if you like.
Notes
*as a disclaimer, cooking time depends on your air fryer, some take more and some take less so make sure to check on them.
