Roasted Cabbage with Jalapeño Lentils & Maple Tahini 🌶🍁

Let's give cabbage an upgrade! This roasted cabbage recipe is a symphony of flavor.

Salty, sweet, spicy, and everything else that's nice. This roasted cabbage is full of flavor and elevates the cabbage to a whole new level. Normally we just stir-fry cabbage to make a quick & delicious meal, however, last week our dad accidentally bought a whole cabbage when we already had one at home. To make use of the extra cabbage we decided to make roasted cabbage which uses almost half the cabbage and is a new exciting way to eat cabbage. We love the smoky and sweet flavor of the cabbage paired with the spicy tangy lentils and creamy luscious tahini. This is a new favorite recipe and we will definitely be making it again!
