Air Fryer Cabbage Wedges delivered crispy on the outside tender inside a quick weeknight side with bold spice and minimal prep time Quick weeknight win

Ingredients

Scale

1 medium green cabbage

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon grated Parmesan (optional)

1 teaspoon nutritional yeast (optional)

1 lemon, cut into wedges

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the cabbage: remove outer leaves, then cut the head into 6-8 sturdy wedges with the core intact to help them hold their shape.
Brush both sides of the wedges with oil. Sprinkle garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper evenly over all sides. If using Parmesan or nutritional yeast, sprinkle it on now or right after cooking for a cheesy finish.
Place the wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 12–16 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until the edges are browned and crisp and the centers are tender when pierced with a fork.
Finish with a squeeze of lemon and a light sprinkle of parsley for brightness. Serve hot as a side or a quick, veggie-forward main.

Notes

Cabbage wedges crispy on the edges with a cozy, savory flavor from olive oil and pantry spices. A quick, vegetarian-friendly side or main that bakes to golden perfection in the air fryer.
