Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 medium head green cabbage cut into 5 wedges with core attached
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Method
 

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F for 3 minutes.
  2. Cut the cabbage into 5 sturdy wedges, keeping a bit of core on each wedge to hold the layers together.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the cabbage wedges with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Arrange wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space for airflow; cook in batches if needed.
  5. Air fry for 6 to 7 minutes, then flip the wedges with tongs and a thin spatula for support.
  6. Continue air frying until golden and crisp at the edges and fork tender in the center, 6 to 8 minutes more.
  7. Rest for 2 minutes, then serve warm.

Notes

- Arrange wedges in a single layer for even browning; overcrowding steams the cabbage.
- Flip halfway through cooking for crisp edges on all sides.
- Store leftovers cooled in an airtight container in the fridge for 4 days; reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 7 minutes, flipping once.
